Baby so congested!

I have a 5 week old that is so snotty and congested! Pretty early on we were getting to 6 hour stretches of sleep at night. And now he’s waking every 2 hours crying because he can’t breathe! I’ve given him saline nasal spray/ drops. It provides immediate relief but then he soon gets bunged up again! There’s a lot of things that can’t be used until he’s 3 months old! Can anyone suggest anything else I can do for his age?
The sleep deprivation is definitely taking its toll now (on the both of us I’m sure!)

8wk old here, but similarly congested baby!

Best thing is to carry on with the saline spray and a snot sucker (we've got the nose Frieda). You can also get a wedge pillow or otherwise tilt their cot so they don't lie flat.
