The day is getting colder and colder, but the baby does not catch a cold, but the boogers are surprisingly abundant, the nose is always blocked by boogers twice in three days, the mother wants to help the baby pick it out with her nails, but the baby does not cooperate, crying and not allowing to touch, forcing to pick and worry about hurting the baby’s nose, in the end what should be done? Why are there still a lot of boogers despite the importance of cleaning the baby’s nose? The nasal cavity of babies is relatively short, unlike adults who have nasal hair protection, the nasal mucosa is more tender, if you keep digging your baby’s nose to clear the boogers, the nasal mucosa will be stimulated, more likely to runny nose and itchy, the boogers will also be more. Picking your baby’s nostrils often has many bad effects! In addition to the above-mentioned cause of the baby’s nasal stool more and more, but also: 1, easy to dig through the nose nosebleed to the baby nostril, incorrect way also easy to damage the baby’s nose. If a mother uses thick fingers to dig her baby’s nose, on the one hand, it is not easy to reach into the baby’s nostrils than, on the other hand, it is also easy to damage the baby’s nose clip. And the mother’s nails may hurt the baby’s delicate nasal skin, leading to bleeding. 2, affect the natural protective barrier of the baby’s nasal cavity If you often dig your baby’s nose, it is easy to cause local damage, destroy the normal defense function of the nasal cavity, easy to catch a cold and flu. In fact, snotty boogers can prevent the nasal mucosa from drying out, and a moist nasal environment can stick to the dust, pollen, and microorganisms inhaled from the air, acting as a barrier to prevent external stimuli from causing infection in the baby’s respiratory tract. Baby boogers can’t be picked whenever you want! What is the best way to clean it? 1, it is best to clean up when the baby is sleeping If the baby is too small, it is best not to move the baby’s nose, because the baby’s organs have not grown solid, the nasal membrane is very fragile, accidentally broke the bleeding. Not to mention when the baby does not cooperate, it is more likely to have an accident. So, here we suggest that if you really want to clean your baby’s nostrils, please dip a little water or baby oil to gently clean them when your baby is sleeping. 2, olive oil, sesame oil or breast milk to help If the mother finds that the baby’s nose has become dry to form boogers, please do not rush. You can put 1-2 drops of saline, olive oil, sesame oil or breast milk into the nostrils first, let the boogers slowly moisten and soften, then gently squeeze the nose, the boogers will be gradually loosened, and then roll them out with sterilized cotton swabs. Baby’s boogers are a bit troublesome to handle though, so when mom cleans baby’s nose, remember to be careful or you will hurt your baby. As for using booger pliers, we don’t recommend it because the baby is too small. 3, induce baby sneezing Many mothers will want to help their babies clean up their boogers like they have OCD every time they see them piling up in their nostrils, but this is not necessary. The baby’s boogers are a bit troublesome to deal with, but at best, they don’t cause asphyxiation, and many times when the baby is playing, the boogers will come out along with the sneeze. How to protect your baby’s nasal cavity and prevent big boogers from blocking your baby’s nose? 1, use simple non-irritating grease (such as petroleum jelly, lanolin, paraffin oil) and other things with a cotton swab to apply to the nasal vestibule three or four times a day, especially in the morning and evening and before bedtime to strengthen, so that the front of the nasal cavity is not dry and there will be no boogers, this method can not only protect the nasal cavity, but also make nasal secretions will not stick to the nasal vestibule causing boogers, and can even reduce the baby’s habit of digging boogers due to itchy nose, more This method not only protects the nasal cavity, but also keeps nasal secretions from sticking to the nasal vestibule and causing boils. 2, with baby spill-proof bottle with warm water, and after the baby sleeps at night, turn the bottle upside down and when the water is not dripping, gently squeeze the nipple a few times with your hand, and put the water drops into the lower edge of the baby’s nostrils, which can also moisten the baby’s nasal cavity. 3, put a humidifier indoors to ensure indoor humidity, especially in winter is most likely to dry, or put a pot of water indoors at night. If the room is the floor, it is best to wipe twice a day with a wet cloth can also play a moisturizing role, and then every night before bedtime to wash the baby’s face, so you can also moisten the nostrils.
