The Bulb tip

Erourke

For those of you who have the bulb suctioner blue thing, Ive found a little trick on how to get those boogies out. I learned this from one of our nurses when Lola was sick in the hospital. 

Ok so when you go to suction out LO's nose. you have to CLOSE ONE NOSTRIL, compress the bulb, stick it in the other nostril, then release it. The trick to closing the other nostril is it creates a suctioning effect. Try it!

yup must close the other nostril, and adding a couple drops of saline first helps alot too.
