Johnson's also makes a "vapor bath" that you pour a little into the tub and it helps to clear up the nasal passage...

They have saline drops for the nasal cavity and then suck out the mucus with a tube thingy...my friend swears by this, and having seen it in action, I will be trying it when the time comes as well.

have you tried the saline? If none of those things work I'd be calling your doc

First you need to check with your doc about the benadryl and cold'n cough most doctors don't believe it's a good idea. Try Simply Saline it's gentle enough not to hurt any of the sensitive tissue then use an aspirator to suction out the snot. Babies don't enjoy it but it gets the snot out. also rub some vicks on baby's back not chest so he cant get it on his hands and eat it!



Hope this helps!
