You can use it before every feed in nose... It will make phlegum thin and easily removed..

Does it reduce the phlegm. Because saline is easing my baby but not removing phlegm completely

Putting 0.9% Normal saline always helps in noisy breathing and stuffy nose.....
2 drops each side of nose before feeds always give relief.....
In case you can nebulize the baby with 2ml normal saline too......
take it easy because stuffy nose stay for couple of weeks to months....
No medications plz
