Au naturelle cure for congestion
Published 29 December 2006 by Scott | E-mail this post
For all of those mothers of babies or future mothers of babies, I have discovered (by following medical advice) that putting breastmilk in a baby's nose helps clear up congestion. Caleb has been suffering from his first ever cold and has thus had a lot of congestion. I tried this little method last night and his breathing has been considerably better since. Granted, I cannot say 100% for sure that it was not merely coincidence and time for the cold to pass, but I will definitely try this again the next time he has a stuffy nose.
Just thought I'd share because there are not a lot of options for treating congestion in babies and let's face it, it's really sad when your baby can't breathe and there's nothing you can do. A warning, though, the baby will probably not be the biggest fan of milk being shoved in his/her nose, so figure out a strategy before commencing. :)
