A baby's nose structure is quite different from adults'. In newborns and young babies, the nasal passages are narrow and short, and the tissue around the nostrils is soft and sensitive. The most important difference is that babies cannot breathe through their mouths for the first few months — meaning they are almost entirely dependent on nasal breathing. That's why nasal congestion, even just mild mucus, can create significant problems for a baby's feeding, sleep, and comfortable breathing. The mucous membrane inside the nose also swells more easily than in adults, which increases congestion. With development, the nasal passages widen and the baby learns to breathe through the mouth; this typically becomes noticeable around 4-6 months.
