I wish I could teach DD how to blow her nose

Poor baby is all stuffed up.  I could try the aspirator again, but last time it did nothing.  Any tips?

    Are you using saline drops before you use the aspirator? It works so much better when you do. I like the Little Noses brand. I found it at Walgreens.

    Maybe have her in the bathroom with shower steam.  That seems to help DS.

    Ugh, I know! The aspirator works well for us, but his nose is like a fricking faucet when he's sick. You're not supposed to use the aspirator too much, so I end up following him around with a tissue, wiping snot off his upper lip, which he hates, so he winds up screaming. Good times.

    saline drops help, and i also try to do it when we are in the bathtub. i think the warm air/water helps loosen her up!
