How do i put saline drops in my newborns nose? im scared to do it and him drown if not done just riget. he is only 3wks and suction does not help

Squirt it in: Some advise a trickle, I use it as a hose. The kid will often throttle or sneeze in the process and that helps push the saline around in the nose to wash of debris.I lay them longways on my lap and squirt as needed, with the bulb on hand if needed.
