How to take care of a newborn with a cold and nasal congestion
1, supplemental water:
The baby has a cold, the mother and father may immediately think of giving the baby medicine. However, no medicine can speed up the disappearance of a virus. If you give your baby plenty of fluids and plenty of rest, it will most likely ease the symptoms of your baby's cold, make him feel better, and prevent the cold from getting worse. For newborn babies, breast milk is the best choice.
2. Relieve nasal congestion:
Tilt your baby's head back and put a few drops of over-the-counter saline into his nostrils to moisten and loosen the boogers in his nose. After a few minutes, use a nasal aspirator to suck out the water and boogers. If your baby's nose is so clogged that it interferes with breastfeeding, try this method 15 minutes before feeding. This will allow him to breathe and suck at the same time. You can put some petroleum jelly around the edges of your baby's nostrils to keep him from getting uncomfortable. (Do not use nasal sprays on your baby without your doctor's approval. Sprays may work temporarily, but long-term use is counterproductive and can make nasal congestion worse).
Newborn cold care tips1. Use a humidifier to moisten the air in your baby's room. Or take your baby to the bathroom, turn on the hot water sprayer, close the door, and stay in the steamy room for 15 minutes. A warm bath can also help with nasal congestion.
2. Stuff two towels underneath the mattress in the headrest area of your baby's head so that one end of the mattress lifts up slightly. Letting your baby sleep with his head a little higher will help reduce the feeling of snot flowing out of the back of the nose and piling up in the throat, but be careful not to cushion it too high. Because if your baby is a restless sleeper, maybe his head and feet will shift so that his feet are higher than his head, which is counterproductive. (Don't use pillows to elevate your baby's head, as this may cause suffocation. Don't put anything under the legs of the bed either, as the bed may become unstable).
3. Mom and dad might also consider letting your baby nap in his special car seat, because in a car infant seat, he's in a semi-sitting position, which is conducive to a good night's sleep with a ventilated nose.
