help please?

Question

My 3 month old has a cold and she's really stuffy. im worried abot her breathing while she's asleep.any suggestions?

Answer 1

Go in the bathroom and turn the shower on really hot. Close the door so the room will steam up and sit in the floor or on the toilet and hold her for a while. The steam in the room should help open up her head some.

Use a nasal aspirator and maybe some saline drops.

Elevate one end of her mattress. Take a blanket and roll it up and place it underneath the mattress so it's on a slant. Lay her head at the elevated end of the bed.

Answer 2

My daughter had the same problem at the same age..There is nothing wrong as all newborns tend to be stuffy for the first few months of life and the way they get it out is blow the mucous through their nose (known as a runny nose).....Get a humidifier close to where she is sleeping as it may be too dry in your house!! Also you can try Dimetapp (this isn't a cough suppressant) but helps with their little noses being plugged and a cough if they have one! You can get it from walmart :) hope this helps

Answer 3

Do you have an aspirator?

You really can't do anything other than suck it out... CAREFULLY!
leave her brain intact... just suck out the mucus and take her to the doctor.

The only thing a really little baby can take is saline nasal spray for babies. You drip some in and then suck it out with the aspirator.

Vicks humidifiers and steam will help too... Take her into the bathroom and run a hot shower and just sit on the bowl and sing her a nice soft song to comfort her her nose will begin to run and you wipe it away ... It works! Just don't do it too long...

Use your brain and don't stay in there for an hour!

my 3 month old had RSV last year. We were in the hospital for 3 days. Babys cant breath by the mouth. Nose only. YOU HAVE TOO KEEP IT CLEAR!!! Let the baby sleep in the car seat so shes sitting up, keep the air moist and get saline drop for her nose. suck the buggers out. Good luck got to ER if needed.

Answer 5

Have you bring her to see a doc. It will take a few day for the running or stuffing nose to clear but at the mean time you can use the nosal sucker to suck the mucas out of her nose. That should help with her breathing. I do that for my children too. Hope that's help.

Answer 6

Use Simply Saline nose spray. It will help clear out the congestion. Just spray it in her nose then wait about 5 min and then use a nasal aspirator to suck it out. It may also help to use a humidifier in her room at night, especially now that it is winter and drier.

Answer 7

keep cleaning its noise steam up the bath room and give little noisy tak in there so everthing comes out and syringe it then give decongestant infants cold and decongestant should work and all i would also get a vaporizer and make sure keep syringing and the little noises spray will help keep it clear that should work. good luck

Answer 8

have you tried to use the suction bulb to clean out her nose? that might help..if you are really worried about her breathing, let her sleep on your chest...the movement of you breathing will remind her to breath, and if she does stop or is having a hard time, you will be there and know as soon as it happens

Answer 9

Just make sure you keep using that nasal asperater especialy before bed and naps, also they have wedges that go in the crib and it helps w/ dranage so it doesnt all pool in the nose , throat, and ears.

Answer 10

I would suggest putting a humidifier in the room it will help
