So I'm sick - and I bought a Neti Pot. I know that is ok for us to use, but the sinus rinse that comes with it I can't find anything about if it's ok for pregnant women. It's a mixture of sodium chloride & sodium bicarbonate. I checked their material in the box, their website, safefetus.com - does anyone know if it's ok to use - I can't find anything that says yes or no? TIA
I just bought one myself and it says right one the box that's it's safe while pregnant. Good Luck, it takes a little bit to get the hang on it but it feels wonderful!
sodium chloride is salt (table salt) and sodium bicarbonate is baking soda. Should be fine.
I give up trying to get a ticker. I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome. Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself. Hmmm. How about...

Yeah, it's pretty much just like a saline rinse...once you get used to the Neti Pot, if you want more power, try the squeeze bottle that company makes. I find it much more effective when I'm stuffed up. Some people are more sensitive to it though, so just go slowly and don't blow your brains out, ha ha.
I used one earlier in my pregnancy. Those ingredients are basically just salt. Totally safe from what I was told. It takes some getting used to but, once you get the hang of it, it rocks! Since it can be a little awkward and messy over a sink, I used mine in the shower.
