squirt some breastmilk up her nose - she won't like it, but it will make her sneeze to clear her nose, and breastmilk also thins the mucus so it is less prone to block. Smile

Or saline nasal drops. The other thing to try is some children's olbas oil dropped on your clothes/a hanky that you can put near (but not touching) her face as the vapours will help clear her passages.

try a nasal aspirator - about 6.99 in b oots. marvellous thing I use it almost every day. yoiu may need saline drps or spray is better to soften it before you suck it out. sorry dreadful typing am one handed feeding atm
