To remove mucus from a baby's nose, use a soft suction bulb. Squeeze the bulb, gently insert the tip into the baby's nostril, and slowly release the bulb to suction out the mucus. Another method is using a saline nasal spray; apply a few drops in each nostril to loosen the mucus, then follow with the suction bulb. Keep your baby comfortable by ensuring they are slightly upright and calm.
