At this stage, the baby is not fully developed, so nasal secretions will also be more vigorous. When a baby's nose is clogged with secretions, they will cry and make noise, but at first, mothers don't know why. After a period of time, it was discovered that the baby's discomfort was caused by nasal discharge. So how to safely clean a baby's nose?
1. When a baby's nasal discharge is relatively hard, it is best to first drop a few drops of sesame oil in the nose to provide some lubrication. This behavior can effectively prevent the baby from experiencing pain caused by pulling out the nasal hair while picking up nasal mucus.
2. Using hot air to soften the baby's nasal secretions, repeated hot compress can have a softening effect on nasal mucus, making it easier to clean and not causing pain to the baby. However, one thing to remember is that a hot towel should not be too hot to touch.
3. If it's convenient for moms, they can choose a fine cotton swab, lubricate it, and slowly dig out the nasal mucus. Throughout the entire process, mothers should gently reach into their baby's nasal cavity, but not too long to avoid discomfort.
4. If the baby's nasal discharge is quite viscous, then this treatment method will be much simpler. Mothers can use toilet paper rolls to slowly insert them into their baby's nasal cavity, gently spinning a few times.
