The respiratory tract of the child in the mother's womb adapts to the humid space. At the moment of birth, the infant enters a completely different environment, filled with atmospheric air. Adaptation of the child's mucous membranes to new conditions can take several months, so its spout is often clogged with physiological secretions that young moms mistakenly consider to be signs of a cold. To accelerate and facilitate the adaptation of the mucous membranes of the nose, you must constantly moisten the air in the children's room.

Cope with the stuffiness of the nose can be by dropping a pair of drops of breast milk into each nasal passage.
If the baby's nose is tightly packed with dry crusts or "bugs", small pods can be made from cotton balls and, by moistening them with warm boiled water or breast milk, release the nasal passages. Poke the flagella into the nostrils with light, scrolling movements, through which the crusts wrap around them.

Why not clean the baby's spout with cotton buds or flagella sold in a pharmacy?

The size of the cotton swab often exceeds the diameter of the tiny nasal passages.
An inexperienced mother may injure a child's mucous membrane by pushing the wand too deeply into its spout.
Ready-made pharmacy flagella is most often made from cotton wool, the fibers of which sprawl and can remain inside the spout, causing discomfort to the baby. For self-making flagella, it is best to use cotton wool discs.
