How to clean the baby's nose?

Many mothers will find that there is a lot of booger in the baby’s nostrils, but they don’t know how to clean it. Why is there booger in the baby’s nose? How to clean the booger in the baby’s nose? I think this question must have troubled many people. Today I will give you a detailed answer. Friends who have babies at home may wish to learn how to clean their baby’s nasal mucus.

1 If you can directly see the obstruction or secretions in the nose, take a baby cotton swab, dip it in water or baby oil, and then insert it deep into the nostril, no deeper than 2 cm, to remove the secretions. Be careful not to go too deep into the nasal cavity. The nasal mucosa is very fragile. Do not blindly remove it to avoid damage. Just gently wipe away the mucus and snot.

2 Use a warm towel to apply hot compress to the nose. When the nasal mucosa is exposed to heat, it will shrink and the nasal cavity will be more unobstructed. At the same time, the sticky nasal mucus will also be easily hydrated and flow out.

3 The most convenient and effective method is to use a nasal aspirator for babies. The correct method of use is as follows:

A Lay your baby on your lap or on a flat surface, with his or her face facing you. You have to see his nostrils. Flatten the nasal aspirator, put it into the nostril, and slowly release the nasal aspirator. The mucus will be sucked out. Then take out the nasal aspirator and spray the mucus and solution from the nasal aspirator onto the toilet paper. Repeat the above steps until all the mucus is sucked out.

B If there is still a large piece of snot in the nostril that is difficult to suck out, tear off a small piece of toilet paper, cut it into a long strip that is not too short, but long enough to be easily taken out, insert it into the nostril and roll out the snot. If there is still runny nose, repeat it once. Then clean the other nostril in the same way.
