First of all, don't dig with your hands when cleaning the nasal cavity! Many treasure moms clean their baby's nose directly with their fingers for convenience. But it's easy to hurt the baby.
1. Adult fingers are relatively large, which is not conducive to cleaning;
2. With a little carelessness, nails can easily scratch the baby's nasal mucosa;
3. Fingers often have more bacteria, which makes it easy for babies to get sick.
So how to clean it up?
1. saline cotton swab stick
Dip the cotton swab into normal saline, put it in one of the baby's nostrils, gently rotate it a few times, and then gently pull it out. Cotton swab sticks should go to the hospital or maternal and infant store to buy special baby cotton swab sticks. This kind of cotton swab has a small head and a high hygiene standard, so it is safer for babies to use. Don't bring too much normal saline, or it's not good to bring out the booger.
2. There is mucus in the nose, so suck it out with a nasal aspirator.
If there is a sticky mucus-like snot in the baby's nose, it can be sucked out with a nasal aspirator. Place the round head of the nasal aspirator on the baby's nostril, gently pinch the nasal aspirator and suck out mucus. Be careful not to touch the baby's nasal wall when inhaling.
Operation method: put the baby in a flat place, flatten the nasal aspirator, put it in the nostril, and slowly loosen the nasal aspirator. At this time, the nasal mucus will be sucked out. Then take out the nasal aspirator and spray the snot and solution of the nasal aspirator on the toilet paper. Repeat the above actions until the nose absorbs light.
3. If the nose is blocked, use nasal drops for children.
When the baby has a cold and a stuffy nose, the pediatrician will prescribe some disinfectants such as nasal drops or sprays. Read the instructions carefully and give them to your baby in strict accordance with the instructions, with gentle movements.
Special reminder: don't go to the drugstore to buy nasal drops yourself, because many nasal drops are not suitable for babies.

Generally, you should pay special attention to the method when cleaning your baby's nasal cavity. Under normal circumstances, there will be secretions in the baby's nasal cavity, especially if the indoor air is dry and the baby's nose is not scrubbed in time, which will lead to the accumulation of secretions in the baby's nasal cavity.
I have a few tips to share with you when cleaning your baby's nasal cavity. This is also the way I clean my baby's nose. I hope I can help you.
1. If the baby's nose is dry, you can dip a small towel in warm water and apply it to the nose, and then gently take it out with the smallest cotton swab. 2.
You can drop two drops of breast milk in your baby's nasal cavity, tear a small piece of paper stick twisted into cotton swabs with toilet paper and gently take it out. 3. You can also take a small cotton swab dipped in warm water and gently rotate it in the baby's nasal cavity for a while. When the booger softens, gently dip it out with a cotton swab.
1. When a small amount of secretion. If there is a small amount of secretions in the nasal cavity, then a nasal aspirator can be used. If you don't have a nasal aspirator at home, you can choose to clean your nose with a cotton swab. You can also dip a cotton swab in a little water or lubricating oil and put it into your baby's nasal cavity. Be careful not to be too deep, so as not to hurt the baby's fragile nasal cavity. You can also cover your nose with a hot and humid towel, so that the secretions in the nasal cavity can meet hot and humid air and flow out of the nasal cavity.
2. Sea salt dripping nose. When there is something very sticky in the child's nasal cavity, which is hard and difficult to clean, normal saline can be used to drip the nose, which can make the lump moist and soft, and the effect will be better if it is barely cleaned or cleaned with a nasal aspirator. Of course, you can also choose to use tweezers to clean the booger inside your nose.
3. Sea salt water spray nose. When the sea salt water is sprayed on the nose, you can choose to let the baby lie on his side, which nostril to spray first, and let the nasal cavity dirt flow out with the sprayed sea salt water. If it doesn't flow out, it will get wet. It can be cleaned with tweezers or a nasal aspirator. A three-year-old baby can choose a sitting posture with his head slightly tilted and his nostrils down, so that when he looks up, sea salt can flow out without flowing into his throat, allowing dirty things to enter the esophagus and swallow into his stomach.

The effect is very good!

If the baby has a fever and a runny nose, then we recommend an Amway artifact. Of course, if parents don't resent it, they can also suck it directly with their mouths to suck out the runny nose. Another artifact is. A suction ball.
Dip a sterile cotton swab into normal saline and drip it into the baby's nasal cavity. When the baby sneezes, he can take out the dirty things.
