Nasal steam machines (steam inhalation devices) are used to temporarily relieve nasal congestion in babies. Steam helps thin mucus and makes it easier to expel. However, the pediatric consensus is that hot steam machines are not recommended for babies under 6 months due to burn risk and respiratory tract irritation.
Cool mist (humidifier) machines are considered safer — they relieve congestion by humidifying the air in your baby's room. When using: place the device in a corner of the room, not right next to the baby, change the water daily, and clean it weekly (to prevent mold and bacterial growth).
Consulting your pediatrician before using any device is best, especially if the baby is under 3 months old or has other symptoms such as fever or difficulty breathing.
