May have a dairy : allergy. Speak to your pediatrician to see what type of nasal suction or syringe you can use to remove phlegm from from her nasal passages.

Infant saline nose : drops followed by gentle suction of her nose with a bulb syringe help. Place a vaporizer across her bedroom, not close to her crib. If she has a rectal temperature of 100-4 or >, labored breathing, decreased nursing &/or decreased peeing, see her doctor. She'll swallow mucus & spit it up or pass it in her stool. As long as the mucus is loose & no other symptoms exist, give it about a week.
