Nosefrida to the Rescue
Stufffy baby?
Hate the bulb syringe?
Nosefrida to the rescue!
Nosefrida is a slender, tapered nasal tube that forms a seal when placed just inside your baby’s nostril. It is attached to a piece of flexible tubing with a sponge trap. You provide suction through the tubing, which is placed in your mouth. The sponge trap keeps the mucus from entering your mouth.
Nosefrida is gentle and more effective than a bulb syringe. It does not need to be inserted as far and removes mucus with fewer insertions. Most babies will still resist nasal suction (and try to grab the tubing!!). Being held still and having an object placed in their nose is still unpleasant. However, the Nosefrida makes an unpleasant but essential job quicker, more effective, and less uncomfortable overall.
If you have a baby with a stuffy nose, you might want to give Nosefrida a try.
I have a similar product at home and I and my baby boy love it. When he feels stuffy, he will put his nostrils on the device! Just a piece of advice: if you baby is old enough to sit, use this device when the baby is sitting, not lying on his back: the gravity will help the process and the baby tolerate it a lot better.
