About Essentials Kids Nasal Spray
Gentle saline that clears a baby's blocked nose naturally: a fine mist of salt water loosens dried mucus so it can be wiped or suctioned away, and a baby who can breathe through the nose can feed and sleep. Drug-free, suitable from birth, and usable as often as needed. 15ml.
Why saline first
Babies breathe through the nose and can't blow it, so a cold blocks feeding before anything else. Decongestant medicines aren't licensed for babies; saline is what the NHS suggests instead, because it thins the mucus without any drug reaching the child. Used before a feed and before bed, it does most of the work of a snuffly week.
How to use
Hold the baby upright or with the head slightly back, one gentle spray into each nostril, wait a moment, then wipe the nose or use a nasal aspirator. Repeat before feeds and at bedtime, or whenever the nose sounds blocked.
Good to know
One bottle per child, wipe the nozzle after use and discard three months after opening. If a baby is struggling to feed or breathe, has a fever, or is under three months and unwell, see a GP or call 111. See our children's cough and cold range.

Frequently asked questions
How often can I use it?
As often as needed; there's no drug in it. Before feeds and before sleep are the useful times.
Can adults use it too?
Yes, saline works at any age, but keep one bottle per person because the nozzle touches the nose.
Spray or drops for a newborn?
Both work; a fine spray is quicker and less startling than drops for most babies.
