Congested

So my almost 3 month old is so congested. Any suggestions as to how to make her better? She isnt uncomfortable but you can hear her being stuffed up and she sneezes too.

Humidifier, salines nose drops, and snot sucker. Lather, rinse, repeat.

This. There is a difference between cool and warm mist humidifiers, my pedi recommends cool mist. Also elevating head/upper body while sleeping.(Under mattress not under baby)

I use the saline and aspiration but, I get so scared when I squeeze the saline in an it seems like she chokes on it! I know it helps but I hate doing it. Any pointers?

I have a warm mist and everyone always says cool. So I asked my pedi today and she said it was bc kids were getting burned on the steam. But that was older models, which I have from prebaby and forever ago and have totally burned. Anyway, she said new models are temperature regulated but they still just go stock advice of cold mist since they can't control stupid parents. Anyway, just thought I would share since I had wondered.

Warm mist is also more likely to cause mold and mildew.
