Tiny noses: Babies have tiny nasal passages & a relatively short neck, which prevents them from mouth breathing when congested unless they arch their head back in an uncomfortable position. Until their neck grows an inch or so, their nose is their airway & dust, perfumes, smoke etc make it run & congested. Washing it out with nasal saline removes the irritants & the mucous blockage.If worried see her dr.
