Nasal congestion is one of the most common problems encountered in babies. The main reason is that babies' nasal passages are very narrow and they haven't yet learned to breathe through their mouths. Even a small accumulation of mucus or dry air can cause nasal congestion, making feeding and sleep difficult for the baby.
As a first step at home, you can use a sterile nasal aspirator (not ear cleaning sticks) and humidify the air in the baby's room with a steam machine. For stubborn crusting, applying one drop of sterile saline solution to each nostril, waiting a minute, and then aspirating is effective. If congestion lasts more than a week, is accompanied by fever, or you hear snoring/squeaking sounds when the baby breathes, it is strongly recommended to consult a pediatrician.
