Every day, mothers clean their babies' facial features, and during the cleaning process, the babies provide feedback to their mothers. Parents also enjoy this process. However, sometimes there are some small problems that parents don't know how to handle. For example, how to deal with a baby's nasal congestion? What happens to a one month old baby with a nasal congestion after drinking milk? Let me introduce this question to everyone.
What's wrong with a one month old baby experiencing nasal congestion after drinking milk?
The nasal cavity of newborns is relatively narrow, and nasal mucosal edema or nasal scab obstruction can easily cause nasal congestion in babies. If the temperature of the environment is very low, the symptoms of nasal congestion in babies will be more pronounced. Don't worry, Mom and Dad. For the vast majority of babies, these nasal congestion are caused by physiological structure. As long as the baby grows a little older, it will naturally improve. Some newborns may also have a small amount of nasal mucus, which becomes light yellow after drying, and this situation is also normal.
How to care for a one month old baby with nasal congestion
1. When a newborn has difficulty breathing through the nose, if it does not affect feeding and sleeping, the mother can try raising the pillow to observe if the baby feels more comfortable.
2. When a newborn has severe nasal congestion, you can try changing the baby's sleeping posture, which may alleviate the symptoms.
3. When a newborn stops taking a few sips of milk for a while, or cries while feeding, it is very likely that the nose is blocked by a scab, and the mother should pay attention to cleaning it. It is best to regularly clean the baby's nasal cavity.
The above is the answer to the question of what causes a one month old baby to experience nasal congestion after drinking milk. I hope these can help parents with babies at home, as their baby's nasal congestion can be big or small, and sometimes it is also a signal of discomfort. Parents should take careful care of them. As parents, the growth process of babies is also the growth process of parents.
