"Hi, my name is Windy St.George and this is how to take care of a congested baby. You should go in the bathroom and run a hot steamy shower and then cradle your baby and comfort him and cuddle him for about 10 minutes so that he can breathe the warm steamy air. If your baby is older than 3 months, you can get a mentholated vapor bubble bath and pour it in the water and they can breathe that in as well. They make such for babies. After 10 minutes, you can take the baby and gently put in saline drops in the nose. Two drops for each nostril. Then take them out of the bathroom and lay them down for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes is over, you can try to suction the mucous and saline back out of their nose. So you take the bulb syringe, squeeze it, place it into the nose and release the bulb and it should suction out some of the mucous. Although most babies won't tolerate this."
