Hello there, since your baby is premature. They can have periodic breathing, that is fast breathing intermittently. Make sure you give nasal drops every 2 hrly, 2 mins before feeds. Proper burping , no bottle feeding. If still baby has fast breathing, make sure you consult online and get prescribed properly with history or visit nearby hospital

Hi Fast breathing is based on age group As ur baby is newborn Respiratory rate Count for full 1 minute If less than 60/min it is normal And baby should not have any retractions If it is only nasal block We can use Saline nasal drops 0.6% 1 drop in each nostril three times a day

Fast breathing is not good Show ur nearest pediatrician or consult online once Use nasoclear nasal drops if required

Put nasal spray

Use nasal saline drops every 2nd hourly

Babies breath through Nose only.Thet can't breathe through open mouth.Hence if there is nose block then baby can take fast breathe..Keep watch on lips,hand and feet normally these areas are pink and if there is breathing difficulty then bluish discoloration can occur and also fast breathing if persistent then show to your Pediatrician. Continue Nasal Saline Drops (Nasoclear Nasal drops) 1 drop each nose 10-15 minutes before feeding (you can use 4-6 hourly)

For Nose block just put Nasoclear nasal drops 2drops in both nostrils every 6th hourly for 3 days Nose block doesn't cause fast breathing
