Brief Answer:
Dehydration
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The baby most likely suffering from dehydration. Please give her enough fluids like boiled and cooled water apart from breast milk. You are doing it right cover her completely at night. Let her be with the mom as much as possible.
I advise you to stop nasoclear and do not use more than three times a day for one drop each nostril.
Hope this helps.
