Saline spray ?

My DS is very stuffy and when I look up his nose I see tons of boogers. I was told to use saline spray. I have some around the house or do I need to buy special baby saline spray?

  • Breast milk is like a cure all. You can use it on their skin, in their nose, I think even to help moisten their eyes. Put a few drops up lo's nose, wait a few minutes and then suck the snots out with your nasal aspirator.

  • We buy the little noses brand, but only because it sprays less up there. I use breastmilk too. I put some in my kids goopy eyes and the green snotlike stuff cleared up in 24 hrs! Love breastmilk!

  • We use the Target version of Little Noses.  The applicator is smaller than the "adult" version.

     

  • Yes the breast milk works. Our son gets stuffy just about every night so I squirt some milk up there and within a few minutes he will sneeze out the gunk or if I hold him to my chest he will rub his face back and forth and it comes right out.
