Blocked nose and dummy
My daughter has a seriously blocked nose and relies on her dummy heavily for sleep. I’ve had to rock and do a contact nap for the first time in months this morning as she can’t use her dummy. I’ve tried everything to clear her nose but it just doesn’t clear it enough. Is now the time to get rid of the dummy? I’m scared to because she’s previously slept really well with her dummy.

@Becky where do you put the tissue? Is it ok if he touches it?
I had the same issue a week ago and it was really tough but she wouldn’t sleep without the dummy and couldn’t sleep with it in her mouth. I had to contact nap her on me all night for the first night. I did all the usual Vicks, olbas oil etc and gave her calpol. Second night I put onion slices in her sock at night and honestly it helped her a lot. Only thing is her feet smelt really bad next day lol but I did it for a few days along with putting Vicks on her and using a humidifier with olbas oil near where she sleeps. I also raised her head by rolling a blanket under her cot.

Have you tried olbas oil? I dab some on some tissue and put it near him and it helps clear his nose pretty quickly!
