Breastfeeding a snotty baby

My little girl is EBF and has woken up with a really snotty nose today and struggled to have her morning feed and still breathe. Any tips for other EBF mamas would be appreciated. Should I pump and bottle feed while she's struggling? Should I keep going with feeding like normal?

Put some snuffle babe on your boob, not where their mouth goes but so they can smell it

This happened to us a few weeks back. I carried on feeding her as normal and used the snot sucker to try and clear as much as I could to help her. It's horrible though! Hope she feels better soon

I also used saline spray which seemed to help

Saline spray and snotsucker works wonders for my 6 month old, we EBF as well

Thank you all. We'll do a steam bath later to try help and will look at trying all of the above too
