1. Tip your baby's head back and squeeze ten to 20 drops of saline solution into each nostril to thin and loosen the mucus. Try to keep her head still afterward for about ten seconds.

2. Squeeze the bulb of the syringe, then gently insert the rubber tip into her nostril.

3. Slowly release the bulb to collect mucus and saline solution.

4. Remove the syringe and squeeze the bulb to expel the mucus into a tissue.

5. Wipe the syringe and repeat with the other nostril.

6. Repeat procedure if necessary.

Don't suction your baby's nose more than a few times a day or you might irritate the lining of her nose. If your baby is really upset by the syringe, use the saline drops and then gently swipe the lower part of her nostrils with a cotton swab. It doesn't have the suction of the syringe, but it's better than nothing!
