Yes, it's fine. The adult ones generally come in much larger bottles and are cheaper. My sons' pediatrician's office gives out samples, and they use Ocean (made for adults). Saline is saline. :)

saline drops should be fine just dont use the ones with the decongestant meds in them....i would go ahead and buy the baby kind tomorrow because i just went and looked in my cabinet and there is a lot less salt in the baby kind so if you use it too many times it may burn the inside the babys nose

Get the baby brand as soon as you can. They make special things for babies for a reason. I'm not saying that to be an *** but from my pediatrician with experiences of the likeness. Never use something that isnt age appropriant. It could lead to major problems.

Don't worry. most saline drops are based on water a salt solution. If she is stoped up. Johnsons has a wonder bath that is meant to help break up conjestion. Good luck

i used the adult kind on my son every day like all winter until i finally got a humidifier. even now i still use them on him occasionally when he has crusties in his nose and won't stop rubbing it. it should be fine. i never had a problem. just be careful not to get it in their eyes and don't use the kind with the added decongestant. my son was also younger than your daughter when i used them. if you really are concerned you can see if there is a way you can water them down a bit... but you should be fine even if you don't. i wouldn't worry. good luck!

Yes that's perfectly fine, they are all made of the same thing. Just be sure to use them as your Dr. directed. Good luck!
