A member asked:
6 weeks old very congested sleeping allday and almost all night.

Doctor can examine: Six weeks is very young. Sleeping all day and night means the pediatrician should examine baby. Babies can easily catch colds from other people. If there is just a runny nose, without much fussiness, without any high fever, without other worrisome symptoms, then parents may leave the nose alone. If there is mucus in the cough and mild wheezing, a doctor might diagnose bronchiolitis lung infection.

Pediatrician : Please see your pediatrician. Infants at this age sleep during the day, but signs of infection may be subtle.
