The easiest way to help a baby sneeze and clear their nose is by using a saline nasal spray.
Here's a breakdown of how and why this works:
-
Saline Nasal Spray: This is simply a salt water solution. It's safe for babies and helps to loosen up mucus in the nasal passages.
- How to use it: Gently spray a small amount of saline solution into each nostril.
- Why it works: The saline irritates the nasal passages slightly, which encourages the baby to sneeze. The sneeze helps to expel the loosened mucus and clear the nose.
While triggering a sneeze can help clear nasal passages, remember to consult with a pediatrician if your baby has persistent nasal congestion or other symptoms.
