So many of my young mom friends have babies with colds that I shot a video of me cleaning my 3 month old 7th baby's nose this afternoon. He couldn't breathe to nurse before the rinse. I dissolved 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized sea salt in 1 cup of warm distilled water and use a bulb syringe to gently squirt the solution though his nose while holding him over the sink. He was happy this time, but he isn't always. Here's to babies who can breathe while they sleep or nurse or suck a pacifier! Update: We use a pediatric NeilMed sinus rinse squeeze bottle (http://tinyurl.com/hd785lk) instead of the bulb syringe now and love it! The adult one was recommended to us by our ENT doctor. For those who have read this far here are some responses to comments I have received: I'm not crazy. Lots of people rinse their sinuses this way. I have done this to myself and all my other children. My husband cleans his sinuses like this daily. It does not hurt or burn. My children feel much better afterwards when they can breathe! I know the bulb syringes weren't designed for this. I was improvising until I found the Pediatric NeilMed bottle. The bulb syringe is new and does not have mold inside. The water is running to wash the snot down the drain and off my fingers. I'm not contaminating his mouth by wiping my finger in it after I wipe his nose. The same mucus that is coming out of his nose is in his mouth. I'm wiping it out so he doesn't swallow it and get an upset stomach. I'm not a doctor. I'm not giving medical advice. I'm sharing how we clean out congested sinuses.
