This is HOW TO safely give your little one a saline nose rinse!
DISCLAIMER: AS ALWAYS.... Seek the advice of a medical professional. I don't claim to be any sort of expert! Just a Mama, sharing what works for me - and never pretending to "know it all", by any means. I find it MUCH easier and more comfortable to do it for my child, when I thoroughly know how to do it for myself. This video explains the Benefits of Nasal Rinsing and How to do it properly.
Fair Warning! This is NOT my most glamorous side. But I hope it helps some Mama's out there to give their littles better sleep by unclogging, and thinning out their mucous and soothing their nasal passages!
SYRINGE: You can use a normal (like for medicine) syringe found in any drugstore and cut off 90% of the tip, and then filing down the edges,(just use a nail file) so that your syringe can have a short tip, and thus, not hurt your baby's nose! 10 Tips (all are more thoroughly explained in the video starting at 3:35) 1. DO NOT USE TAP WATER 2. Use Distilled Water 3. Add appropriate dose of Saline - I like these packets. Read instructions on box!
Here is someone else doing a nasal rinse that is perhaps gentler/shows a way to hold a smaller baby. (...But I will say that I would have liked to see her lean that little baby more forward when doing it!) However... it shows a different and perhaps gentler bulb/syringe thing... (and a smaller baby) .... So watch this one too if that sounds appealing!
I hope this helps you! Feel free to leave comments on the video, or on facebook or down below if it helps you! Pass it along!
