A stuffy nose can make sleep tough for your baby and for you. But did you know propping them up to help them breathe can actually be dangerous?
The American Academy of Pediatrics reminds us:
🚫 No pillows, wedges, or inclined sleepers
✅ Always place baby flat on their back, on a firm surface
💡 Use a humidifier, nasal saline drops, or gentle suction to ease congestion
Your baby’s safety comes first—even with sniffles. Reach out to your child’s provider if symptoms worsen or for tips to help your baby feel better.
