Congested baby. No sleep

3 month old DS has a cold type virus which is also causing an upset tummy. He had a temperature so got him checked by the GP today who confirmed his ears, throat and chest are all clear but he’s struggling to feed and sleep because of how congested his nose is.

I’ve tried saline spray and then a snot sucker thing, some does come out but very shortly after his nose is straight away congested again. I’m trying snuffle baby on his chest and back tonight. Does anyone have any other ideas to relieve the congestion and hopefully try and get some sleep?! He’s that unsettled he’s waking literally every few minutes. I tried to get the calpol plug in vapour thing from the chemist earlier but they’d sold out.

I find a humidifier really helps. You can get them in Argos if there’s one near you.

Hold him upright and sleep in shifts. Only thing that worked for ours til they were toddlers.
