A young baby’s natural instinct is to breathe through their nose – even when it is blocked. This can make their life very frustrating, disrupting sleep, nursing and bottle-feeding. That’s why it’s so important to keep your baby’s nose clear.
FESS Little Noses is a non-medicated saline solution that provides relief of dry or blocked noses due to colds, allergies, sinusitis or dry air. The gentle alcohol free saline solution will not sting your baby’s delicate nasal membranes and being non-medicated it can be used as often as needed without the worry of harmful side-effects.
How does FESS Little Noses work? FESS Little Noses works by loosening and thinning nasal mucus and moisturising dry nasal passages. This helps to clear stuffy noses, allowing your baby to breathe easier. As babies insist on breathing through their nose, a clear nose is essential prior to feeding and sleeping.
FESS Little Noses is available in a spray and drops.
Non-medicated, so can be used as often as required. Preservative free
Purified seawater nasal spray
equiv. 9mg/ml Sodium Chloride
How to Use FESS Little Noses Saline Nasal Spray: The easy to use spray pump has been specifically designed to produce a soft spray ideal for little noses. 1) Hold your baby upright, place the nozzle at the entrance of each nostril. 2) Depress the spray pump. Apply 1 to 3 sprays per nostril. 3) Gently wipe mucus from the baby’s nose to prevent skin irritation. Alternatively, a nasal aspirator (hyperlink to how to use aspirator) can be used to gently clear loosened mucus without the harshness of tissues
This process should be done before you put your baby to sleep and at least 15 minutes before a feed so that your baby can breathe and suck at the same time.
How to use the FESS Nasal Aspirator: 1) Hold the aspirator in one hand (away from the baby’s nose) and expel air from the bulb BEFORE you place the tip at the entrance of your baby’s nostril. 2) Gently place the tip of the aspirator at the entrance of the nostril, pointing towards the back of the nose. 3) Hold the other nostril shut to create a vacuum. 4) Gradually let the air back into the bulb. The suction will pull mucus out of the nose into the bulb. 5) Squeeze the mucus out of the bulb onto a tissue. 6) Repeat this procedure with other nostril. When you have finished, clean the aspirator with warm soapy water, rinse and air dry for continued use.
Warnings: Remember to always use as directed and consult your healthcare professional if symptoms persist.
