Taking Care of your Babies Delicate Nose with Flo Baby Nasal Spray

Babies breathe exclusively through their nose on the first few months after birth. This allows them to feed, swallow, and breathe at the same time. Since babies have tiny nasal passages, even the smallest amount of mucus may interfere with breathing thus disrupting their feeding and sleeping. Therefore, it is important that their nasal airways are kept clean and clear of mucus, allergens and other irritants.

Flo™ Baby Nasal Spray is specifically designed for babies’ sensitive and delicate nose to gently clean and wash away the excess mucus making your baby breathe easier.

Flo™ Baby Nasal Spray has a specialized COMOD® (Continuous MonoDose) system, which makes sure that the solution in the bottle is sterile and free of contaminants.

Flo™ Baby Nasal Spray is isotonic which means that the solution has the same concentration as the body’s own fluid. It is also non-medicated and preservative-free therefore, Flo™ Baby Nasal Spray is non-irritating and gentle to the babies’ delicate nose.

Flo™ Baby Nasal Spray may be sprayed quickly at any angle, even upside down. This means that the baby can assume any position of comfort, even lying down, while using the spray.

Flo™ Baby Nasal Spray delivers the solution in a gentle micro- mist spray allowing the solution to be dispersed evenly.

Flo™ Baby Nasal Spray provides metered-doses to ensure that the baby receives the right amount of spray for each use.

Flo Baby™ Nasal Spray is handy and easy to carry anywhere especially during travel.

Providing your Babies with Gentle Nasal Care using Nasal Sprays

Babies breathe almost exclusively through their nose on their first few months from birth. By breathing through their nose, babies can feed, swallow and breathe at the same time. It is therefore important that the babies’ nasal airways are kept clean and clear of mucus, allergens and other irritants.

Since babies have tiny nasal passages, even the smallest amount of mucus may cause nasal congestion and may interfere with their breathing thus disrupting their feeding and sleeping.

The babies’ nose may be blocked by thick and excess mucus due to hay fever, allergies, cold or viral infection. One effective and safe way to clear this mucus is with nasal sprays containing isotonic saline solution that mimic the body’s own natural fluids. Saline nasal sprays also help activate the natural cleansing mechanisms of the nasal passages to clear away mucus and other irritants.

Nasal saline spray for babies may be used as often as needed to provide the following benefits:

  • Cleans and clears away the excess mucus helping increase air flow and make babies breathe easier.
  • Serves as a clogged nose remedy. Clear and unclogged nose eases breathing and help babies sleep better.
  • Babies get to feed easier bringing convenience to the mothers.
  • Washing away mucus plugs which could be breeding areas for germs helps in preventing infection.
  • Provides a handy means of removing snot from the baby’s nose. This is safer than using a nasal applicator or a suction bulb which may be difficult to administer especially on an upset, jiggly baby.

There are available sterile, preservative-free nasal saline sprays specifically designed for babies’ delicate nose that gently deliver the solution in gentle mist and can be administered quickly at any angle, even upside down.  These nasal saline sprays are handy and easy to carry anywhere especially during travel.

For best advice, a doctor should be consulted.

Go-to Remedies to Relieve Baby’s Blocked Nose

Babies have tiny nostrils and in their first few months, they can only breathe through their noses. Nasal congestion is a frequently cumbersome problem among babies who experience the common cold and who are exposed to air pollutants and allergens and are suffering from viral and bacterial respiratory infections.

Even older babies cannot completely breathe well through their mouths. A blocked or stuffy nose in infants and toddlers may cause disruption in sleep and feeding. This could be worrisome for mothers and this could also impact the whole family.

Here are some easy- to- do tips to help maintain healthy nasal airways and promote natural nasal immune defense in babies and toddlers:

     1. Keep the baby’s room properly ventilated. Ensure that the environment where the baby stays is always kept clean and dust-free. Wash the baby’s blanket, linen and toys regularly.


     2. Use mild colognes, lotions and fragrances for the baby. Mothers and other members of the household taking care of the baby must avoid wearing strong smelling perfumes, colognes and deodorants that can trigger allergic reactions in babies.


     3. To avoid nasal dryness, blocked or congested nose, try a chemical-free and preservative-free nasal saline spray. A nasal saline spray provides a cleansing action and can help wash away excess mucus, germs and other irritants in the baby’s nose.


     4. In choosing a nasal saline preparation for the baby, it is important to consider a gentle isotonic formulation that closely resembles or mimics the body’s own fluids and is not harmful to the delicate nasal tissues.


     5. For easy dosing and administration, opt for saline sprays that can be conveniently sprayed at any angle, even upside down. This allows parents to place the baby in the most comfortable position making the administration of nasal saline spray quick and convenient.


     6. Administer the nasal saline spray 10-15 minutes before the baby’s feeding or sleeping time so that the baby can sleep well.

If the baby has fever or persisting symptoms, it is best to consult a doctor.
