Use Nasoclear saline drops just clear the nasal block.   It doesn't help in decreasing nasal congestion.   But if nasal congestion is minimal  then better to avoid to give nasal drops in first 3months of age.   If significant nasal congestion night awakening exessive cry due to nasal congestion then give  Nasivion baby nasal drops 1drop in each nostril 4 times a day for 2 days only.  It will help
