Clean Baby Nose Service | Nasal Clearance
A blocked nose may seem harmless, but for babies, it can be a serious concern. Babies rely heavily on nasal breathing, especially during feeding and sleeping. When their nasal passages are blocked by mucus or other debris, it can cause discomfort, feed difficulties, and even breathing issues. That’s why nasal clearance is more than just a simple clean-up : it’s a vital part of ensuring your baby’s overall health.
Why is Clearing Blocked Nose Important for Babies?
✔ Prevents nasal congestion and breathing difficulties!
– When a baby’s nose is full of mucus, it can be difficult for them to breathe – especially while sleeping or breastfeeding.
✔ Reduces the risk of ear infections and sinusitis!
– Accumulated mucus can enter other passages (such as the ears), and this can cause infection.
✔ Helps in maintaining proper feeding and sleep patterns!
– Babies with clean noses are happier to breastfeed and sleep without disturbance.
✔ Prevents mucus build-up that can lead to bacterial infections!
– Mucus that is not cleaned for a long time can become a breeding ground for bacteria, and can make the baby sick.
According to guidelines by the Ministry of Health Malaysia (KKM), regular nasal clearance can prevent respiratory complications, especially for newborns and infants who are more prone to infections.
When Should You Consider Nasal Clearance for Your Baby?
Some situations that parents need to look into:
- Difficulty breathing through the nose –If you see your baby constantly opening their mouth to breathe, their nose may be blocked and they need help.
- Persistent nasal congestion or runny nose –If mucus comes out for too long or your nose feels blocked all the time, it’s a good idea to get it checked.
- Noisy breathing or snoring –When baby’s breathing sounds, as if there is something in his nose, or he snores even when it’s not during sleep – this is a sign that it needs to be cleaned.
- Difficulty feeding due to blocked nose – When baby may refuse to breastfeed or stop breastfeeding because it is uncomfortable to breathe.
- Visible mucus build-up –If the mucus in your nose looks thick or yellow/green, it may be time to clean it properly.
