Saline Nasal Spray
Saline nasal spray is completely safe and is the first-line recommendation for nasal congestion during breastfeeding. It's just saltwater — no active drug ingredients.
Saline nasal spray is salt dissolved in water. There's nothing to absorb and nothing to reach breast milk. It's safe, effective for mild congestion, and the best first option before reaching for any decongestant medication. Use it as often as needed. A neti pot or nasal rinse system works similarly.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
