Until you hold your precious baby in your arms, gently looking down at them while they nurse/suckle, you don’t realise how precious the mom–baby relationship really is. You are breathing gently, hopefully your baby is breathing gently, and all is well.
This, however, is not always the case. A blocked nose is not a serious health hazard, but uncomfortable. You might have suffered from nasal congestion during pregnancy; in fact, about 20% of women will suffer from a congested nose in pregnancy. Hopefully by now, it has cleared up.
If you, as an adult, with larger sinuses, struggle to breathe sometimes, and realise how uncomfortable it really is, just imagine how uncomfortable it is for your little baby, with tiny sinus passages which – until he or she is 6 months old – can ONLY breathe through the nose. Your baby also has very narrow nasal passages that are easily blocked by excess mucus. They will want to breathe through the nose, even if it is blocked. This will make it difficult for them to feed and sleep comfortably.
With a nipple or teat in the mouth, it is vital that the nose is clean and clear so that breathing and drinking are easy. If babies drink while their noses are blocked, they tend to swallow more air; this air gets trapped in the stomach and could lead to discomfort (crying), colic and, ironically, nasal congestion – starting the whole cycle afresh.
Understanding how nasal congestion affects all of us has resulted in CS Health scientifically designing the ideal range of nasal sprays for pregnant moms, babies, kids and other adults. CS Health also designed the ideal spray bottle to deliver these scientifically proven formulations in the most comfortable, cleanest (sterile) and safest possible ways. Because of the engineering behind the spray bottle producing a fine micro-mist, your baby will not be startled by the spray, and it will not sting them.
Flo Baby is the absolute best saline nasal spray/drops starting-place for any baby or child, whether sick or not. Ideally, Flo Baby should be packed in your hospital bag when you go to have your baby, ensuring your baby is able to breathe and feed well, right from the start.
If your baby is well, use Flo Baby 10 minutes before feeding. Flo Baby will gently thin and wash away the mucus (even mucus containing dust/viruses/pollen) and clear the nasal passages, allowing for easier breathing during feeding. This is quick and easy before feeds: The bottle sprays at all angles (even upside down), so your baby can even be lying down.
Flo Baby is a natural solution, resembling the liquid in a healthy nose. Therefore, it can be used as often as needed. The Flo Baby spray bottle design results in the contents remaining sterile despite being used, so there is no need to discard after use.
If your baby is sick, Flo Baby helps clear the nasal obstruction and reduce swelling in their tiny nasal passages, resulting in more oxygen for your baby within 5 minutes – also allowing better breathing, drinking and sleeping.
So let’s look again at why Flo products are the best choice:
• Not all nasal sprays/washes are equal for blocked noses, allergies, colds and flu, and general sniffles. Flo products are so much more than just saline.
• Flo products are special because they contain saline and added minerals to resemble the healthy nose environment, thereby resulting in better breathing than saline alone.
• Because the sprays resemble the natural healthy nose environment, they wash away unwanted pollen, dust, viruses and bacteria, while putting back the necessary minerals required by the nose to function optimally.
• Scientifically proven to use for all ages – from neonates, premature babies, pregnant ladies, all adults, even post-surgery – because Flo mimics the nose environment and is not harsh, so that anybody can use it.
• Flo is gentle, easy to use, yet very effective in getting the task done.
Raising a child is hard work; helping them breathe easy shouldn’t be. Flo Baby will help your baby eat, play and sleep better.
