A member asked:
Currently staying in a hotel and my almost 2 month old baby keeps waking up congested. i was suctioning his nose also with saline drops but now not much comes out only from one nostril. should i buy a dehumidifier for the time we will be staying in?

You may want to use humidifier to help loosen the secretions. You may also want to try to put the baby in any area of mattress with like allergy cover( like a plastic cover under the sheet) that reduces the dust that gets to the baby. Ask for damp cleaning of your room. Adequate fluid intake by the baby should also loosen the secretion for easy suction. No smoking around and be in nonsmoking area
