1 cup distilled water
1/2 tsp non-iodized salt
1/2 tsp baking soda, kills the bad anaerobic bacteria
Mix. Store in clean container. I use a consecrated oil bottle from the LDS distribution store.
Use nasal saline to help prevent sickness when you've been exposed to someone who is sick. (ie. your toddler coughs and sneezes in your face. )
BABIES: Keep dropper bottle warm and on-hand in your pocket. Before each breastfeeding: let baby's head fall off your lap til nose and chin are tilted way back. Give baby 1-2 drops in one nostril, press the nostril to help saline go down deep. give 1-2 drops in the other nostril, press nostril. Repeat as needed till baby can breathe thru nose. baby will nasal breath when feeding which will further help the saline reach deep into nasal cavity and help prevent ear infection.
