How do I wash the nose of a baby who does not have a head yet?

Quite small babies can not blow their nose, so they need to help remove mucus from the nose. The technology is slightly different from the previous one because they do not yet know how to hold their heads and it will be difficult to keep them above the basin.

1. Prepare a decoction of herbs or saline.
2. Take the dropper.
3. Put the baby on your back and drip the solution.
4. Do not pour too much so that the liquid does not get into the ears.
5. Using cotton swabs, remove the liquid from the nose along with the mucus.
6. Take the wadded flagella, dip them into boiled sunflower oil and clean the spout from the remains of mucus and broth. It is very important that the oil is not too hot. Enter the flagella with twisting movements no more than 2 cm inwards.

Remove the remains of mucus will also help a small rubber syringe.

The procedure may seem complicated, but if you follow our advice, everything will go perfectly.
