Nowadays steam inhalation is not recommended. Can not lose weight within a short span. Continue breast feeding along with some soft and palatable diet.

For infants and young children, turn the bathroom into a steam room with the door closed and the shower on full hot. Sit in there for 10 or 15 minutes.? Steam helps loosen congestion and relieve some of the discomfort of colds. If this does not work you can nebulise your child to relieve congestion.

Dear lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. You can use steamer for the purpose. Some mums may use a bowl of hot water or a facial steamer to offer steam. But, it's best to avoid putting your baby close to hot, steamy water as there is a risk of her getting burnt. If your baby is too young to blow her nose, use a bulb syringe, Your doctor will be able to show you how to do it. If your baby still doesn't want a steam treatment, don't force her. Instead, try squeezing some saline nasal drops or spray into her nose. Salt water helps to clear blocked noses too. Please consult a doctor before trying this. For any query related to diet, Nutrition and health I am always here to guide. Thanks.
