Feeding a baby with a blocked or stuffy nose can be challenging, especially during colds or seasonal congestion. Newborns primarily breathe through their noses, so even mild congestion can affect breastfeeding comfort.

To help your baby feed more easily, try keeping them slightly upright during feeds. This position supports breathing and makes swallowing more comfortable. Feeding smaller amounts more frequently can also reduce frustration and help your baby stay calm.

Before feeding, gentle steam exposure (such as sitting in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes) or saline drops, if advised by your healthcare provider, may help loosen mucus. Always ensure your baby takes breaks to breathe and burp comfortably.

If feeding becomes very difficult, your baby refuses feeds, or shows signs of breathing distress, seek medical advice promptly.

✨ Congestion is temporary, and with calm, responsive care, most babies continue to feed well.
