    My poor little man has a bit of a stuffy nose, I tried to use the saline spray but his nostrils are too small to get it up, so the chemist recommended saline drops, which I've been using for the past 2 days but i get more on his face and nearly in his eye than up his nose.

    Been reading up and people are recomending to get a Humidifier, so are there any Mammys or Daddys out there that could recommend one that they have been using for their little bundles of joy.

    I dont know about the humidifier but I have been using karvol capsules either broken and put on a tissue beside him or pierced into hot water... It does seem to help... Also try to keep baba out of room with very drying heat e.g. gas electric fires, heaters etc


    those drops are very hard to get into them but I find the calpol spray much better than the little noses one. With the little noses one, when i would finally get to spray in the right direction, the blinkin thing wouldnt spray - the calpol one seems better.

    Oh and I found my ds was getting dehydrated and also able to eat less bottle so i had to give him some water to keep him hydrated..

    good luck - its so horrible to hear them struggle to breathe

    I've been using this one and find it good.

    My little one wouldn't keep still long enough to get the drops in her nose and it does the trick. There is a well where you can put some olbas or vicks oil once the baby is 3 months old.
