My lo is 14 1/2 weeks old and since she was born we have only had 2 weeks where she hasn't sounded snuffly!! At first they put it down to swallowing stuff during delivery. Now I am being told she has just had one cold after another! How can this be true if there isn't always snot present?? She sleeps with her bed angled, i'm using saline nasal drops. have now started with snufflebabe, karvol plug in and capsules on a bib in moses during the day.
A friend has now suggested as she is 95% breast fed it could be my diet or the formula she is having once a day. any advice greatly appreciated. I have made a doctors appointment for tues but not holding out much hope!! Please help!!

my 25 week old has been excatly the same, I have taken her to the doctors twice after nagging from my mum and mil but they always say her chest is clear. Apparently babies have 8 colds in their first year, I think DD has had hers continously, so hoping they will stop in the summer!

DD had a stuffy nose from 2 weeks until very recently (she is 27 weeks now). Is it loose snot or dry boogies? If it's loose snot you mgiht want to try a snot sucker thingy. It should get better when her nose gets bigger.
