So how do you feed a baby with a snotty nose?

Just that really, dd is a bit bunged up this morning, suspect she has a cold starting. There's no snot visible so i can't use the snot vacuuming device.

advice on my lll fb group from a neonatal nurse was to use saline drops to clear the airways to allow them to suck. not tried yet though so not sure.

No saline in the house, but I could see a bogie in each nostril, got a cotton bud and extracted about 2ft of bogie and hey presto, she is fine again!

nice!

by the way if you don't have saline you can also use breast milk.
