I've tried humidifier and Vicks. Will I harm anything if I blow in her mouth to release the mucous through her nose?

never blow in a babies or persons mouth unless they need cpr... it can burst the lungs by over filling with air.
when imy daughter got her first stuffy nose, a saline spary worked well, spray it up there and it all drips out.. i also used a q tip to pull it out

You could actually push back the mucous and further congest her, if the blowing has any effect at all. I agree-- there are many harmful effects that blowing could have on the head and lungs.
We've had success rubbing some Vicks ointment on the chest and even putting a tiny dab in the bottom of each nostril (or just below). The nasal aspirator is the best logical answer to decongesting an infant.

Use baby saline, it comes in an aerosol can. It is cold/cough aisle at most drug stores. Also Johnson's makes a baby vapor bath that you add to bath water to help break up congestion and a a baby vapor rub. Theses are more natural ways to help with congestion. Do not blow into the mouth, can damage the ears. Good luck and hoping your baby feels better soon.

the only way you should get mucous out of a baby is with one of those nose suckers a baby will cough up mucous just buy 2 nose suckers 1 for nose and 1 for mouth you should not blow at a baby its takes their breath away that is no good. its sounds to me like she needs to see a doctor and if that doctor has not helped you need to go somewhere else

Yes, you will. Get your baby to the doctor for a decongestant. If you blow into her mouth, you will blow into her lungs and might damage them. You could also blow mucus into her ear canals and cause infection and perhaps hearing loss. So do not blow into her mouth for any reason other than CPR. Get her to a doctor.

This could pop her ear. Use a nasal aspirator. They cost like 50 cents.

dont blow in her mouth it could hurt her, i dont think it would relieve anything from her nose anyways. make her a doctors appointment and until then just continue to use the humidifier, if she has a stuffy nose get a snot sucker.

No. Try some saline drops and a nasal aspirator

What? My goodness, don't do that.
Use a nasal aspirator (a bulb).

i don't think so but i would try putting a warm cloth on her chest or use one of those syringe bulbs to take out the mucus.
