A nebulizer turns liquid medicine into a vapor so it can be easily transmitted to the lungs. A nebulizer delivers medication directly into the lungs and is given to asthma patients or other patients with breathing problems. Today, nebulizers are often used at home as directed by the doctor. For babies with certain respiratory conditions, infant nebulizers are used to deliver medication.

In this article, we will show you how to use an infant nebulizer at home.

• What you will need is a baby nebulizer, a prescription, and a chair.
• First of all, you need to assemble the infant nebulizer correctly. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions when assembling the parts. Once the nebulizer is assembled, move the nebulizer and medication close enough to the chair that you can reach them when sitting.
• Now sit in your most comfortable position and cradle the baby in your arms. Make sure they are comfortable in your arms because they are more likely to tolerate the baby nebulizer procedure if they are comfortable.
• The next step is to pour the medicine into the cup of the baby nebulizer. Then dilute with normal saline if the doctor has prescribed the same.
• Now carefully place the mask and secure it over the baby’s face. If you express irritation due to the strap, you can hold the mask close to your face for the desired effect.
• The last thing you need to do is turn on the infant nebulizer to start delivering the medication. The treatment takes five to ten minutes and when the mist stops, you should understand that the treatment is complete. Turn off the nebulizer when the medicine has been completely delivered.
• If your child expresses excessive irritation with the nebulizer, do not force it. Instead, use it when he’s sleeping for easier medication. However, remember not to feed the baby right before the nebulizer treatment because the medicine may make him cough and if his tummy is full he may vomit.
