If your baby is congested and struggling to breathe while feeding overnight, try heading into the bathroom and turning the shower on hot to steam up the room.
You don’t need to hop in the shower, just sit on the toilet lid or a chair and feed your baby in the steamy bathroom for a few minutes. The steam can help loosen some of that mucus and make feeding a little easier.
It’s one of those simple mum hacks that can make a long night feel a bit more manageable!!
* If your baby is having difficulty breathing, feeding poorly, or you’re worried about them, seek medical advice
