Baby Vicks works great for my baby. I just apply over her nose, forehead, neck and chest region. And she likes it too.

Regards,
Sheetal Hetal replied. dry stuffy nose is often because of dry weatherr or too much air conditioning or lack or less cross ventilation,,also could be because of old carpet,or ne of the allergies that babies might be sensitive to.. keep an eye on it.
nirja had that prob when we were in kansas, and often it happened to her esp in winters.
also, use of cool mist humidifierr will help., but if you are the place where its cold, warm mist ones will help !
also make sure during good weather you have cross ventilation in your place. mean to say, keep your windows open !specially in the early mornings and late evenings or nights, atleast 1 hour.. it will help.
for temporary relief from dryness with mucos, try using over th counter little noses saline drops. if you think or your dr is giving mediciines for allergy ( ask your dr ), then gving a good headbath followed by a good massage with some good soothing baby oil will help (at night, thats is atleast 1 hourr after dinner or just before sleep.)
c if this helps.
take care.
