Baby has a blocked nose and refusing to take his feeds

[NishaaS123]

Baby since the morning has a blocked nose and I think hrs got a sore throat as hes taking his feeds in very difficultly he keeps moving his face away, any remedies i can use? Hes only 4 months dont want to take him to ae they don't do much there plus this covid situation

Try feeding in the bathroom with the shower running. The steam helps.

Calpol will help with his sore throat. Have you got any shops nearby that sell a Nose Frieda/ snot sucker? They are grim but worked a treat with my snotty babies!

Hi OP, the best things I used to give my LB was saline spray up nostrils and use the snotter sucky thing, u can get it from the supermarket. The next best thing was the calpol vapour plug in at night when they r sleeping. Plug it in and sleep with it on its amazing and highly recommend. Hope it clears up and little one OK x

Snot sucker for sure, steamy bath.

Saline spray up nose beforehand feeds, regular Calpol.

Definitely saline, it's magic. I found drops better than spray. Also Snufflebabe is ok from 3months I think

Saline drops may help. If not bath baby, and hopefully he will be able to breath better and feed immediately after. Your baby is very young ring 111 for advice.

Snot sucker! Works amazingly i wish someone would do it to me when I have a cold. You could also try going for a walk in the cold air.

Thank you guys used the snot sucker and it worked like magic he is much better now xx
