aspirator issues

yankee42 · February 2009

soo, the boys hate the aspirator...no surprise...i imagine every baby does. this is my thing though...is it worth it? the doc always tells me to, but they get so daggone upset, that they are screaming and crying which produces more snot..never ending cycle.?

they don't really seem to have much issue getting it out, snot is dripping from their noses constantly right now ?

My girls hate it but I think they do better after it's done. I put them in their highchairs. It gives me a little control and they don't scream as much and it helps if they are sitting up and I use the nose spray to loosen it up.

Good luck..i hope you all feel better soon.

YES! It is worth it! Try putting some saline spray in there first and then sucking out the crap. It will really help them sleep better during a cold.

Ugh--totally know what you mean. My girls are just getting over a nasty 2 week nightmare cold. I have been using this interesting but REALLY good contraption a good friend of mine bought me for my shower--Nose Frieda--look it up online. She bought it online. It is a European product but OMG does it work better than your avg aspirator. YOU actually suck the snot out of their tiny nostrils (there is a filter to block it from you). Works miracles! Check it out and I hope they feel better soon!

i use the saline everytime...and its not a matter of not getting any out, i get plenty, but seriously..with the way ronnie cries, he is producing as much snot as i am sucking out at the same time..ugh
