We had snuffly noses here too. When we left NICU we were told it was common as they would be exposed to dust and other normal but new stuff. I can't remember how long it lasted though.
Aoife was a bit worse though but this was because she had a tendency to spill through her nose which left her consistently congested. |

I also thought they often sound snuffly initially because their noses are so small that just breathing causes quite a lot of turbulence.
Ollie was definitely snuffly for a long time although he is formula fed and my GP says FF babies are anecdotally more mucousy. |

| Yep Ava (who is nearly 7 weeks old) is quite mucusy especially at night. |
