When my twin boys were babies, we spent hours and days awake with them at night when they were stuffed up. It’s hard to believe how frustrating baby nasal congestion can be because you can’t simply ask them to blow their nose or to tell you what their symptoms are. Luckily my cousin told us about hydraSense® and we were able to keep the boys’ baby nasal congestion at bay.
It is officially winter cold season, and that means nasal symptoms are going to be a problem at times. These tips for baby nasal congestion can help everyone (especially new parents!) breathe easier this winter.
Tips for Keeping Nasal Congestion at Bay
Thanks to hydraSense®, today I’m sharing tips for dealing with nasal cold symptoms for mom and baby! While you can’t always prevent sickness, there are things you can do to help ease symptoms while you are healing.
Sleep in an elevated position.
One of the easiest ways to help heal your body is to get proper rest. A good night’s sleep is a must, but when your nose is all stuffed up, that can be hard to get. For adults, an added pillow or even a night sleeping in a recliner does the trick. For children, you may need to add something underneath their mattress to safely elevate the head. Whatever you choose, make sure it is safe for the age of your child. Don’t use anything soft or squishy.
Use saline nasal spray.
A saline nasal spray helps open up nasal passages, as well as to help alleviate the dryness that comes once the congestion goes away and healing begins. We love using hydraSense because it is not only the #1 choice of moms in Canada but also the number one nasal saline solution in Canada. It doesn’t contain any medications or preservatives.
hydraSense Ultra-Gentle Mist is simple to use and provides a steady spray of solution that is easy for infants and young children to tolerate. They also have EasyDose vials for taking nasal spray on-the-go. For those little ones that can’t blow their nose yet, a nasal aspirator is key!

Seek a doctor when needed.
At the end of the day, if you have a sick baby at home, don’t hesitate to call the doctor. Nasal congestion from a cold is easy to treat with the right tips, but a common cold can quickly turn into a serious illness for newborns. If baby has a fever, it is always the best choice to seek out your physician for their expert opinion.

Oh man, it’s the worst when the little ones get a chugged up nose. It’s hard to keep them feeling good, and they fight when you try to unclog their nose. This sounds great.
A nasal spray sounds perfect to me. When my kids were babies, I was stuck with one of those bulb things for days on end. They weren’t fans.

I hate having sick little ones…especially when they’re really little. These are great tips! I hadn’t thought about putting something under the mattress to raise their heads!
I’ve heard great things about this and so need to try on my little ones. It’s never fun when they are sick.
Nasal congestion in babies is the worst! They can’t communicate and are so helpless! These are great tips!
I always dreaded clearing my baby’s nasal passages. They would all cry so much!
There is nothing worse than your baby having a cold. I remember those days! This sounds like an awesome line to have around when you’re little one needs it!

We used something similar to this when our kiddo was a baby! It helps SOOO much!
The nasal sprays work wonders. They truly do help out the little ones a lot. It’s no fun being sick and little.
I used something like this when my son was a baby and it was the best! It’s amazing how much hit can help a baby with nasal congestion.
I need to try this for my little one! Nasal congestion can be the worst and scariest thing when they are so little and can’t tell you whats wrong.

My mids can be quite resistant to saline nose sprays because they are too harsh or irritating. So, I would be keen on trying thr Ultra Gentle Mist.
Am excited for the gentle mist – sounds super useful!
