Battery Operated Baby Nasal Aspirator?

Question

Walmart has a battery operated nasal aspirator and I was just curios if anyone has had one of these and what you thought of it!! The manual ones just dont seem to be doing anything..I never get any boogers out and my babies nose is so stuffy...I can hear it when she breaths in!!!

Answer 1

I've never tried it.  I don't think I would, it sounds too mechanical, too much reliance on a gadget.  But that's just my opinion.

I've never had any luck with the manual nasal aspirators (tried 3 different kinds).

What I found worked was spraying breast milk up baby's nose.  My midwives recommended it.  Breast milk helps break up the mucus.  It works like a charm.  Baby will wonder why on earth you're spraying her with milk, but it's painless for them, and shortly afterwards baby's nose will be running wonderfully.
