Nasal solutions are used to moisten nasal passages in babies during congestion and to help secretions soften. The safest choice is isotonic seawater or saline solution sprays that don't contain any active medication. These can be used several times a day regardless of your baby's age.

Hypertonic solutions (with higher salt concentration to reduce swelling) should only be used when the nose is truly congested, no more than 2-3 times daily, and only after consulting a pediatrician, as overuse can irritate the nose.

During application, gently turn your baby's head to the side, squeeze a drop or two into the upper nostril, then turn to the other side. Remember to wipe the nostril with a clean cloth after use. Choose ready-made baby-appropriate salines from pharmacies. Don't use homemade saline; non-sterile water carries infection risk. Make sure the solution contains no medication, preservatives, or herbal additives.
