Is it all the time? My son gets congested at night so I bought a humidifier and it's made a huge difference.
Congested baby!
My son has been really congested and has a wet cough since he was 5 weeks old! He's now 9 1/2 weeks and he's still like this. The doctor told me his lungs are clear, and it's not the flu or anything else that's serious which is all good but then why is he still like this?? He has a hard time breathing when he gets all clogged up and I'm doing saline spray and trying to get as much of that crap out of his body as I can which makes him scream his head off anytime I suck the stuff outta his nose:/ I feel like he's so miserable and I just feel helpless. It freaks him out when he's super clogged and can barely breathe I can tell he panics sometimes... I just need some advice on what to do?! The doctor hasn't given me any medicine or anything

Hmm, the only thing I can think of is an allergy, I've heard they can cause congestion. Dairy is the most common one

Yeah he's pretty much congested all the time and gets worse if he's laying down so I always have him in the swing for the most part. I sit him up when he's nursing and when I just wanna cuddle him I have him propped up. I've literally done everything and have no idea what it can be
Squirting a little saline water in their nostrils before suctionong really helps. Sleeping with a wedge (or folded blankets) under the head of the mattress might help. Sorry your little one isn't feeling well.

Aw, well good luck. It's so hard to see them sick
Ja
But thanks for the advice mama:)

I do the saline spray and suck the stuff out with the nosefrida every day and it hasn't been getting better 😖😖 and he sleeps in his swing propped up. I'm outta ideas and I feel terrible for him 😔
My little guy was congested too and the bulb aspirator wasn't getting the junk out. I got a NoseFrida and that's made all the difference. He never had the cough like yours though. Look into the NoseFrida. Good luck mama!

Dang. Poor babe. That sucks! Hope it clears up, seems like the doc should have more input.

Thanks mama I have the nosefrida too and I get a lot out every time I use it but it just keeps coming back that's why I'm so confused on what the hell it could be! Since he didn't test positive for the flu or anything serious I just am confused as to what could cause this to stay around for 5 weeks
I'd go back to the doctor and if she dosent do anything I'd take him to urgent care and see what they say
Ja
Research as in just searching on Google lolol
Ja
And couldn't tell us what it could be either. They said maybe it could be allergies but all the research I've done said that allergies don't cause yellow greenish mucus and that's what I keep pulling out of his nose.
Ja
But while we were at the hospital they did X-rays of his checked and did some swabs in his nose and literally found nothing
