Hi
Thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
Blocked nose is a common problem in infants and cause difficulity in feeding and sleeping.
Give saline nasal drops before feed and during night.
Give steam inhalation.

If symptoms persist get them evaluated by pediatrician as physical examination will be required.

Wishing your babies good health.
God bless..

Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

Blocked nose because of common cold can result in difficulty in sleeping in babies.

First put some normal saline drops into the baby's nostrils.

Look into the nutrition aspects because insufficient feeding also results in poor sleep in babies.

Continue to ask further queries.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
