For nasal congestion in babies, sea water sprays are more effective than saline solution because the minerals in them help thin mucus and keep the nasal tissues moist. Current pediatric practice recommends isotonic sea water sprays as safe and the first choice, especially for babies under 6 months. 2-4 times a day, 1-2 sprays per nostril is sufficient; using before meals and sleep is soothing. Hypertonic (high salt) sea water is more effective for heavy congestion but can cause sensitivity in babies — trying is fine but I recommend starting with isotonic first. It's good to spray briefly on your arm before use to check the flow speed and control it. If there is fever, discomfort, or nasal discharge lasting longer than 10 days, consult your pediatrician.
