Many babies are prone to experiencing nasal congestion, often due to the presence of mucus in their nasal cavity. Some attentive mothers clean their babies' nose droppings every day, fearing that their babies may experience nasal congestion due to the blockage of their nose droppings. Is it good to clean the baby's nose?
Timely cleaning of nasal mucus for babies is beneficial as it can reduce discomfort caused by nasal congestion and allow for smoother breathing. And timely cleaning of the baby's nose can also reduce the chance of choking on milk. But mothers should never clean their babies' nasal mucus too frequently. If it is cleaned too frequently, it will not be beneficial and may even pose a threat to the baby's health.
Because there are some fine hairs in the baby's nasal cavity that can block bacteria from invading the respiratory tract, which is very beneficial for the baby. But if the mother frequently cleans the baby's nasal mucus, it will be removed along with these hairs, which will break down the barrier that protects the baby's respiratory tract and pose a threat to the baby's health.
In order to better protect the fuzz in the baby's nasal cavity, mothers must moderately clean the baby's nasal mucus. And when cleaning, pay attention to the method and do not use hard tools to clean the baby. It is best to drop the first drop of water in the baby's nasal cavity. After the nasal discharge is softened, find a way to encourage the baby to sneeze, so that the nasal discharge can be cleared out together.
