Baby Congestion Natural Remedies

Baby Congestion Natural Remedies

Nasal congestion in babies interferes with sleeping and feeding, when nasal pathways are blocked. Congestion comes when a nursing mother may have a diet too rich in dairy products or there is too much stress from lack of sleep which affects the quality of mother’s milk. The baby may have allergies to the formula.

For baby congestion, most healthcare professionals recommend sucking out the mucus from the nose or using a decongestant if the child is old enough. From the natural perspective, we should look first at the mother’s diet, and help the mother and child to normalize mucus secretions to reduce congestion. Clearing the nose is helpful.

A humidifier with a few drops eucalyptus oil in the water may be helpful at night. It is good symptomatic relief.

Nursing mothers need to pay attention to their diet; also avoid tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, coffee, and soda.

If baby is on formula, you may need to change it.

 

Herbs for Baby Congestion

Herbs are plants valued for their specific strengthening/ tonifying properties.

Use a glycerin extract as it contains no alcohol and are safer.

Elecampane – use with mother and a drop or two for the baby a few times a day. It is one of the best nasal decongestants I have used.

Osha – respiratory issues and be used if elecampane isn’t effective

Echinacea – useful especially for mom and will be helpful to the child through the mother’s milk.

Ginger – warming, improves digestion and congestion. Use like elecampane.
