See Pediatrician: Young infants can often have stuffy noses especially in the winter months. Use a clean humidifier in the room. Be sure to give the usual vitamin d polysol or trivisol medicines recommended to boost your babies immune system. Careful sun exposer to back of legs, back, being sure not to allow for sun burn for a few minutes a day in southern states also helps naturally boost vitamin d levels. See.

Little noses: Irritants like perfume & dust can make the nose swell inside & the mucous they make may rattle. As the swelling increases the work of breathing increases & breathing becomes more noticeable. If babies activity or feeding is pretty normal, simple nasal wash out with saline can improve things. If babies activity changes & they seem fussy, tired or not interested in feeding, it's time for a visit.
