Baby is congested

My 8 month old baby girl woke up congested and hard to breathe . She is currently breathing through her mouth . I am taking her to her pediatrician this morning and getting a nose suction and saline drops . Any tips from mamas that already went through this ????

Try doing a steam too. And get a saline spray, much easier to apply! For the steam, just turn the shower on super hot and let it run a bit, bring baba into bathroom for a few minutes and suction the nose. You can also use some olbas oil (dunno if its a thing in the US).

@Kelly ok yes I love the idea of the shower steam! Thank you so much for your advice ❤️

Use a humidifier in her room at night! Frida makes vapor wipes that you can use to wipe her nose too, which can help her breathe easier (got them on Amazon). Boogey wipes also makes saline wipes that are softer than regular wipes for wiping away her boogers

Everything everyone has recommended has worked great for us! We also use a baby type vapo rub and oils that we put in his bath

@Andrea definitely had that humidifier running !!! & omg I never knew they made wipes . I am definitely about to buy it ! Thank you so much for the advice💕

@Ann Marie yesss I seen the vapo rub for babies ! Definitely going to give that a try as well🤗 thank you so much for your advice as well💙

Steam, humidifier, baby Vicks on chest/back/feet at night helps. Saltine spray & you can also use the saltine inhaler it comes with a mask let her sit with it for 5-10 mins it’s helps clearing it up
