MUST-HAVE MONDAY: NoseFrida Nasal Aspirator

MUST-HAVE MONDAY: NoseFrida Nasal Aspirator

Alright. Babies aren’t just cute and cuddly and cooing all the time. Time to get real.

You will be peed on. Pooped on. Puked on. Drooled on. Spit up on.

And more. But you won’t care. Not really.

What you WILL care about is the comfort and health of your baby.

Nothing is worse than when your itty bitty baby can’t breathe.

Poor things can’t take any form of nasal decongestant. They can’t quite figure out why it’s so hard to breathe. They can’t suck on their pacifiers for comfort. And they can’t drink their milk.

Enter: NoseFrida Nasal Aspirator

While not the most glamorous of “must-haves”, this is essential to the health and comfort of your newborn. Some hospitals send you home with a rubber bulb aspirator . . . the same ones used to suck out your newborn’s nose and mouth when first born.nosefrida1

These can be effective. Sometimes. You squeeze the bulb, insert into the nostril, and release. There’s only that much suction allowed. However, sometimes there’s too much junk in the nose and you need to keep sucking it out. That’s where the NoseFrida excels!

With this, you can control how much suction you need to use. Place the red piece in your mouth, place the tip of the blue piece in the nostril, and suck with your mouth.

Sounds gross. I know. But it’s really not.

To put it bluntly, there is a foam filter that tops any snot from getting to your mouth. End of story. So maybe the concept seems gross, but it’s really not.

And you’ll feel so good helping your little one out!!

Get it at any baby store. Or at Target.

Happy Monday,
Kristi
