Before using the nasal pump, apply a few drops of saline solution (available at any pharmacy) to each of your baby's nostrils and wait 30-40 seconds. This softens the mucus and makes suction easier.
Place the pump tip against your baby's nostril without fully blocking it, positioning it slightly to the side. Keep the other nostril uncovered with your finger, and make a quick, short suction. You can apply the same procedure to both nostrils in one go, but don't do it more than 3-4 times a day — frequent use can irritate the inside of the nose.
After each use, wash the pump with hot soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and let it air dry. If your baby becomes uncomfortable, don't force it; try again later. If nasal congestion lasts longer than 5-7 days or is accompanied by fever, consult your pediatrician.
