Safe vs advised: The first months are often troubled by the infants narrow nasal passages.Exposure to dust, fragrances, smoke & other irritants triggers nasal reactions.Baby tries to flush these out of the nose with mucous but this often ends as congestion & produces rattling with breathing. Avoiding irritants in babies environment is the best way to avoid this problem.
