I don’t know, but I think it’s silly that your doctor said this, as babies can’t blow their noses like we can. So, if I couldn’t blow my nose, and I was plugged up, and someone put a bulb or tube nasal aspirator to my nose and *carefully* applied suction, then I guess I’d be startled, but grateful afterwards!

But it is really great to hear this about this saline drops and elevated mattress. Hydrasense also makes seawater solutions in tubes, travel single-dose size and a larger bottle. Where do you get your saline drops (do they make them just for babies?), or do you make your own solution?

This was a very informative post, but Karen's comment made me gag! Sometimes I think it's a blessing NOT to have kids. Tee hee! .-= Juice´s last blog post ..Easter Amidst Cherry Blossoms And Guess What? No Homicide! =-.

oh wow — i work in pediatrics and that thing looks AMAZING! i always tell pts about the bulb syringe but cringe inwardly because i know how hard it actually is (and sometimes ineffective).

thanks for sharing!!

Our hospital one finally disappeared (I think a disgruntled toddler threw it away) DH looked online and bought 4 or 5 of them from a medical supply place for around $15 total.

I wish that I had known about this before now. My one year old HATES the bulb syringe. Maybe if I tried this he wouldn’t move his head away from me, or cover his nose, or arch his back and scream. And yes, I’ve also caught vomit in my hands

Wow, I'm always amazed by the tidbits I learn from other moms. Thanks so much for passing this along! It's new to me, and I only wish I had found out about it one week earlier (when our runny noses were in full force). Have a wonderful Easter! .-= Adele´s last blog post ..This Moment =-.

I’m another fortunate mom who never had to suck snot out of any of my three kids’ noses! We got the bulb syringe thing when our first was born but it ended up gathering dust in our medicine cabinet until I finally pitched it several years later.
