How to get rid of stuffy nose without taking medicine? (breastfeeding)

Saline!!: If you are unable to take medicine, nasal saline spray every 3 hours should help to decongest. You can also use a nette pot 1-2 times a day. Drinking plenty of clear fluids should be helpful too! congratulations!

Saline drops: Nasal saline is your best bet. Cold medicines like sudafed can decrease your milk supply.
