I am bit behind on my digests but thought I'd add my .02. I started using
bm for nose drops with my 2 month old because she is congested almost every
night. Ped thinks it's small nasal passages, but anyway... the saline was
getting annoying to mix up every night so I started just hand expressing a
few drops into a medicine cup. After a while I got tired of washing out that
cup so I just hand express into my hand and putting a small amount into each
nostril with a bulb syringe (nose sucker-type). Then I just suck it right
back out. I sit her up and she usually sneezes in a few minutes and clears
her head out enough to sleep again.
I think it works well and she doesn't whip her head back like she did with
saline - it's the right temp and doesn't taste funny!
