For first time mommies, it might come as a surprise to you to learn that your baby’s cute button nose may seem like it’s runny and gunky – perhaps even crusty – most of the time. Every so often babies would dazzle us with a huge sneeze and giant snot bubble or a big laugh that resulted in a mucous explosion.

Nasal congestion is a nuisance for people of all ages, but can you imagine how babies feel, not being able to do anything about it on their own? Hence, it’s essential to be aware of your baby’s nasal congestion and address it accordingly, so that he or she can breathe smoothly.

In most circumstances, you’ll be able to tell if your baby’s nose is clogged. Mucus can often be seen by the parent, either within the nostril or around the nose. Noisy breathing, snorting, or plain fussiness can all be signs of nasal congestion. Because their nasal passageways are small, newborns are more prone to congestion than older children or adults. Congestion is usually minor, and while the nose has to be cleaned, parents shouldn’t be too concerned. Of course, it would be wise to note here that if the congestion is deeper in the baby’s chest, then that could be a sign of a more serious problem like asthma, pneumonia, or cystic fibrosis, which needs to be accessed and treated by professionals.

With a stuffy nose, newborns may have trouble sleeping and eating. As a result, they become irritable and fussy. Thankfully, STERIMAR Nose Hygiene Baby is here to help.

Sometimes, with babies, even with the softest, gentlest tissues or the most advanced nasal aspirator, cleaning that delicate nose is quite difficult. Of course, seeing your adorable baby with an awful stuffy nose makes you feel anxious. Thankfully, STERIMAR Nose Hygiene Baby allows parents to deal with congestion swiftly and with minimal opposition from their little ones!

STERIMAR Nose Hygiene Baby is a nasal spraying device that can be safely used on a daily basis to gently cleanse the nose and eliminate impurities (dust, fine pollution particles, mucus, allergens), moisturise and restore the natural moisture of the nasal mucosa (heating, air conditioning), prevent ENT disorders (colds, otitis) by reinforcing the nasal mucosa’s defences, and improve your baby’s breathing. If all that sounds too good to be true, then know that this product is an award-winning one which is not being sought after by more and more parents!

A good night’s sleep is critical for your baby’s physical and mental health. Breathing therapists have been using STERIMAR sprays in the treatment of bronchitis. It is suggested that parents utilise it on a daily basis for their children. In the long run, it also helps in teaching children to maintain their nasal hygiene!

STERIMAR baby is a preservative-free, isotonic* filtered seawater solution that is 100% natural. Mineral salts and marine trace elements are used to give beneficial characteristics. An isotonic solution is one that has the same salt concentration as human body cells. You don’t have to worry about when or how often you take it because it’s a completely natural solution, as opposed to potential side effects from pills and syrups. By just cleaning the nasal passages it helps your little one to have a better sleep at night.

Similar to adults with dry noses, you can use this specially designed spray if you can’t wipe your baby’s nose because the mucus is too thick or the boogies are too difficult to remove. A nasal spray’s purpose is to loosen any mucus in your baby’s nose. Remember that their nose is considerably smaller than an adult’s, so you won’t need much solution to get it to work.

First, lay your infant on his or her back. Then, insert the nozzle gently into the nostril and press it momentarily, allowing any excess solution to drain before wiping the nose. Carry on with the procedure in the opposite nostril. Use 2 to 6 times a day, or more if necessary in each nostril. If they sneeze, don’t be startled! Allow a minute for the solution to take effect, and to let the mucus loosen.

While a baby’s runny or stuffy nose may be a cause for concern, they are a normal part of a baby’s life. Learning how to clean your child’s nose properly and safely will help them feel more at ease. With STERIMAR by your side, you’ll be able to make these moments a lot more tolerable for your baby as well as for yourself!
