Blocked nose struggling to latch - Help please

[NikkiTwinkle]

Hi
My DD is 9mths old and has a very blocked nose. She's not got a cold, but does have an ear infection. Were 6 days into a 10 day course of antibiotics and although the ear is no longer troubling her, I've not been able to do a substantial feed today as she can't breath and just gives up.

I've got nose drops and have been doing that today but it doesn't make any difference. I've just put her to bed and she couldn't have her bed time feed and just gave up and went to sleep.

Vaporisor is on, snuffle babe on her chest, any other suggestions as I'm struggling.

Thanks
Nikki

I've heard (but not tried) that squirting BM up the nose helps

Buy a nasal aspirator quickly. I use nose frieda and it works very well - aplly the nasal saline spray first and then use nose frieda to get the mucus out.
