Stuffy nose: Your baby has a stuffy nose making it difficult for him to feed. Before feeding take a bulb syringe and suck out as much mucus as you can. Then use salt water nose drops to clear his nostrils you might want to wear a mask while feeding and make sure you wash hands before feeding baby.

Nasal saline : Use baby nasal saline drops and gently suction both nostrils, when congested. Infants like to breathe through their noses and congestion makes the feeding more difficult.
