    Blocked nose?

    My little one has a really blocked nose and is struggling to breathe when feeding. Does anyone know what I can do for her?

    Thanks

    get some Little Fess nasal spray. They come with a sucker thing so once you squirt it up their nose you can suction everything out. hope she is feeling better soon Also when she goes to sleep, raise one end of the cot mattress so she is slightly elevated, will help it to drain a bit better.

    Aww, thanks mate. She's a poor wee cherub again today - blocked nose and hasn't been for a poo since Thursday last week and is clearly in some discomfort especially since we slowly started solids the other day!

    Having a wee snooze just now though.
    Thanks again

    A nice warm shower with mummy (or daddy) works a treat too, followed by a vapouriser in the house. Hope your little Miss is feeling better very soon

    I second the vapouriser, perhaps in her room and feed her in there, I have a Euky Bear vapouriser, and it's fantastic. Also some Euky bear rub on her feet and or a little bit on her top might help too.
    Hope little miss is feeling better soon.

    you can rub abit of vicks on your skin so she smells it when she feeds too. it can be too much for their skin.
