During the process of growth and development, babies are bound to get sick or experience some discomfort, the most common of which is nasal congestion. This should be taken seriously by parents, as nasal congestion can affect the quality of their baby's sleep and make it difficult to fall asleep. So, how can a 16 month old baby sleep if they have a stuffy nose?
1. Firstly, it is necessary to promptly clean the secretions in the nasal cavity. You can use a cotton swab to carefully roll out the secretion. If you find that the secretion is stiff, it is recommended to wet it with breast milk or a small amount of clean water before lifting it out.
2. You can use some ginger to put in the soles of your baby's feet, because in the early stages of a cold, your baby's nose may not be ventilated. At night, you can use some warm ginger to put in the center of your baby's feet, which can help him breathe more smoothly and make him feel better. It should be noted that the temperature of ginger should not burn the baby. If you find that the temperature of ginger is too high, you can cool it down and then put it in the baby's foot. If it is too cold, it can also be heated before use.
3. The baby's nostrils are very small, so it is not recommended to use the method of cleaning the nasal cavity, as it can easily cause harm to the baby. If the method of cleaning nasal secretions is used, it may cause the baby's nasal cavity to become larger, which will affect the baby's appearance. Therefore, it is not necessary to use the method of cleaning nasal secretions to clean the baby's nasal cavity.
