Of course, when a child is born, many questions immediately arise related to caring for the baby - swaddling, bathing, nose care and nail trimming. Young mothers from the first days of a baby's life, while you are in the hospital, are shown how to properly clean their nose. This procedure must be done carefully so as not to damage the newborn's nose at least twice a day - in the morning and in the evening. If there is a lot of mucus in the nose, perhaps more often. And, please note, you can not use cotton swabs when cleaning the nose.
It is necessary
- - Cotton wool,
- - sunflower or vaseline oil,
- - pipette,
- - aspirator,
- - "Aquamaris" or saline.
Instructions
Step 1
If you see that the crusts are dry in the baby's nose, they must first be soaked. To do this, you need Aquamaris, saline diluted in half with water, or regular breast milk. Put a few drops of breast milk or drops with sea water into the newborn's nose, wait a few minutes to soak all the crusts in the nose.
Step 2
After that, you can start sucking mucus using an aspirator. The aspirator is a rubber bulb with a soft silicone or rubber tip for safe insertion into the baby's nose. Before you enter the aspirator, you need to squeeze it, then insert it into one nostril and suck out the mucus. Do the same with the baby's second nostril.
Step 3
After that, we proceed to cleansing the nose with cotton flagella. This method of nasal cleansing should be used twice a day every day. Of course, it may not work the first time, but over time you will do it without much difficulty. The first step is to prepare everything you need - cotton wool, sunflower or liquid paraffin.
Step 4
We twist from cotton wool dense flagella with a thickness of about 3-4 mm, their length should be 5-6 cm. And screw the flagellum along its axis into the nasal passage by 2-3 cm, do the same with the second nasal passage until the flagella will not come out completely clean.
