My 17day old baby suffers from a blocked nose since birth. ive used saline drops as well as a few drops of breast milk but it hasnt helped. help...

BM makes it worse: The first months are troubled by narrow nasal passages & exposure to dust, fragrences, smoke & other irritants aggravate this.Baby tries to flush these out of the nose with mucous but this often ends as congestion & produces rattling with breathing. The best rx is washing out the nose with saline & suctioning the remainder. Eliminate irritants from babies environment & this will happen less.
