Facilitating nasal breathing in infancy
Newborns can breathe only through their noses till they are several months old!
Why is it a problem?
When a baby has stuffy nose, they cannot breathe properly, so the satisfactory oxygen-supply is not secured. They don’t get enough air through their mouth so they cannot sleep soundly, suck their dummy or suckle. A stuffy nose in a baby is a struggle during night – when your child doesn’t sleep then neither do you.
What can you do?
As parents, it is our responsibility to secure nasal breathing because a baby with stuffy nose cannot blow their nose. By aspirating the nose with the help of a nasal aspirator, we free the airways and provide for the conditions of a peaceful rest and nourishment.
