I have to take a minute and share this marvelous product that I found. My daughter recently had a cold and after using the "Bulb Syringe" to no avail I went online searching for a miracle. And let me tell you, I found it.It is called the NoseFrida. It is a large tube with an attached small tube and filter that allows you to suck the mucus out of the baby's nose.
Instructions
- Insert a new filter and then make sure the small tube is attached to the large tube (you will hear a snap)
- Next, place a few drops of saline solution into each nostril (this will help loosen the mucus)
- Next, place the pointed end to the baby's nostril and use the red mouthpiece to suck out the mucus.
- Detach all pieces, and dispose of the filter. Clean with warm water and soap. The small tube should be cleaned with a few drops of alcohol.
Pros
- This type of suction is much more efficient than the bulb syringe.
- It is less intrusive, it does not go into the nostril
- It comes apart making it easy to clean
- Latex and BPA free
Cons
- The box says that you can not "suck too hard", however my daughter will disagree. I have found several small sucks are more to her liking than one large.
- It is a little pricier than the bulb ($22 at Babies R Us), however it is worth it to have your child breathe easily.
I would recommend this product as a must have in every house with children. I have already bought 2 to slip in as a baby shower gift.
