However, this 'filter' must be clean to be effective! A congested nose indeed hinders a child from breathing freely and can adversely affect their sleep and nutrition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDid you know? Children produce an average of one liter (4 cups) of nasal secretions per day, and even more when they suffer from a cold or respiratory allergies (pollen, dust, etc.). Since they cannot effectively blow their noses, it is not easy for them to manage these secretions. They need their parents to help them breathe better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegular nasal hygiene with a saline solution eliminates secretions and particles. It reduces congestion, moistens the nose, and prevents nosebleeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also allows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetter feeding and better sleep;\u003cbr\u003eReduction in colds or their duration;\u003cbr\u003eDecrease in ear infections, sinusitis, and coughing;\u003cbr\u003eReduction in antibiotic intake;\u003cbr\u003eBetter control of asthma in children who suffer from it;\u003cbr\u003eDecrease in children's absenteeism from daycare and school, as well as parents from work.\u003cbr\u003eStart your child's nasal hygiene from birth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNasal hygiene should be done with a saline solution. This can be prepared at home or purchased at a pharmacy or grocery store. You will find a homemade preparation recipe on the back of the packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe syringe irrigation technique is recommended for children under 2 years old. When they are older, the bottle or spray irrigation technique is recommended. Here are the suggested amounts of saline solution based on your child's age. If your doctor has mentioned a different quantity, follow their advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreemie: 1 ml per nostril\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder 2 years old: 1 to 3 ml per nostril\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinimum recommended frequency for your child:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOctober to May: 1 to 2 times a day\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold or congestion: 3 to 6 times a day\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLying down technique - for children under 6 months\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways wash your hands BEFORE and AFTER performing nasal hygiene on your child.\u003cbr\u003eRemove abundant secretions using a nasal aspirator if needed.\u003cbr\u003eFill a syringe with saline water at body temperature (see the table above for the quantity).\u003cbr\u003eLay your child on their side or back, swaddle if necessary, and place a washcloth under their nose. Irrigate the upper nostril when positioned on the side by gently emptying the syringe's contents, about 1 mL per second. Secretions may come out through both nostrils, the mouth, or be swallowed. It is not necessary for the water to come out through the other nostril.\u003cbr\u003eTurn your child to the other side or keep them on their back, and repeat the same technique for the other nostril.\u003cbr\u003eIf your child is unable to blow their nose, wipe their nose with a tissue or use a nasal aspirator. If there are still secretions, repeat steps 2 to 5.\u003cbr\u003eSitting up technique for children over 6 months\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle-person technique\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour child should be sitting on your lap, with their head straight (not tilted backward or forward).
