    my poor baby has a blocked nose :(

    the poor thing, i dont even know how to fix it
    when she's feeding she's so loud cause she cant breath through her nose properly, and she's not sleeping very well, when she does sleep she is constantly grunting and making noise, sometimes she cries too
    i dont know what to do
    any advice would be appreciated
    TIA ladies xxx

    Take a trip to the chemist...there are saline drops you can put in their nose and then suction them and any mucous out with a little suctiony thing..sorry I don't know what it's called!
    There may be some other things your pharmacist can suggest. If you're breast feeding that will help her too as it will assist her immune system in fighting the bug off.

    Poor little thing, hope she is feeling better soon!

    ss_storm, it's called Fess & it's great, works very well & is very safe for little ones.

    its called little fess, the peadiatric version, its a mix of warm water and a salty solution that you mix up squirt in and suck it out..
    always helped my little one.. good luck
