3 week old DD has stuffy nose

She's sounded congested and the Doc said it was normal, try saline drops and a humidifier. We did that and now it's all loosened up and we are trying to get it out with the aspirator but she still sounds bubbly Chat Icon . No fever or anything but I feel so bad that she has a stuffy nose already!

thats normal... their nasal passages are just very small right now -- newborns sound all stuffy for like 2-3 months... my ped said as long as they arent having issues breathing during feedings or at night, then its fine!

Normal for that age. Just the body's way of clearing amniotic fluid, they were sitting in fluid for months! Don't worry, it will pass, she isn't sick.

Totally normal...don't worry. My ped calls it "junk breathing". As long as baby is eating well and there are no other issues, it will take its course and clear up soon.
