As soon as your baby seems bothered by nasal secretions, cleaning their nose is a good habit to get into. In the case of a mild cold, for example, this simple step can help prevent complications. Infants with a stuffy nose have trouble breathing, which makes it hard for them to sleep and complicates mealtime.
It’s very helpful to clean a baby’s nose to remove impurities and thus protect them from infections. It’s recommended to clean the nose regularly—about twice a day in the summer and four times a day in the winter. This may need to be done more often during a cold.
To clean a child’s nose, a saline solution is available at pharmacies. This solution helps remove secretions, decongest the mucous membranes thanks to the salt, moisturize the nose, and prevent nosebleeds.
Nappy change time is the perfect opportunity to clean a very young baby’s nose. Lay the baby on their back and gently place the dropper at the entrance to the nostril before administering the solution. If dried mucus remains stuck, gently wipe the edge of each nostril with a tissue soaked in the solution or a wet wipe. If the mucus persists, use a baby nasal aspirator or a bulb syringe to suction it out.
If the child’s nose is congested with mucus, it’s especially important to clear their nose before meals or bedtime. You can also give them a long bath or a prolonged shower. Water and steam can help thin out the mucus, thereby helping to clear their nose.
There are sprays containing a seawater-based solution. They help clear the baby’s nose and make breathing easier. They contain the recognized benefits of marine minerals and trace elements. You can also use a nasal aspirator. This can be a traditional nasal aspirator or an electric one. Very practical and suitable for young children, it removes mucus through centrifugation.
Until they are nearly one year old, babies breathe exclusively through their noses and do not know how to breathe through their mouths, as we adults do. Therefore, it is essential that their airways remain clear. Furthermore, to prevent colds that can quickly develop into ear infections, bronchitis, or bronchiolitis, it is recommended to clean the nose (and thus the nasal passages). To prevent nasal secretions from building up, it is essential to perform a thorough cleaning.
