Then came the next round of aspirators, the battery operated ones. We tried the Graco NasalClear Nasal Aspirator first. It didn't even have any suction- not a single booger. NOT A ONE! I tried it up my nose and it was PATHETIC. I even exchanged it thinking I had a defective unit. Nope. It sucked. Well, didn’t suck. That got returned to BRU. Then I tried the Safety 1st ProGrade Clean Collection Nasal Aspirator. Again, not enough suction. Back to the store that went. Yeah, I know you're thinking I'm absolutely disgusting for returning these, but they don't do what they say they'll do, then they aren't providing what they were purchased to do. Plus, the stores get credited and toss them. Gross, maybe? Do I feel guilty about getting back my 30-40 dollars, nope, not one bit.

The first problem is the left arrow. The tubing connector doesn't attach and STAY onto the collection tube. So, problem here is you have to hold that, as well as the baby. My technique was to swaddle/burrito baby as tightly as humanly possible to keep her arms out of the way. I had to do it this way because Hubby was gone for 6 months training for his job/promotion. Well, my child eventually hated this thing because it would really suck EVERYTHING out of the sinuses. Not a bad thing- it does exactly what it's supposed to do. I finally got to the point where I would just tape the stupid thing together (don't judge me). Then there's the issue with the filter. These things get lost and fall out so easily, you can go through a whole package of 20 if your kid is sick for an entire week (like Nugget was once with the flu). Second issue is the tip. It's made of hard plastic, so it's not very comfortable jammed up the baby's nose. It really is uncomfortable if you're trying to hold baby, the part that falls apart, AND then tip in the nose. Then don't forget the part if you're sinusey too... you might have to plug YOUR nose to get and maintain a good suction on the device. So there's ANOTHER extra hand needed... How many hands does this make that you need? Oye.
So Finally, I came across the Baby Comfy Nose Nasal Aspirator. I contacted the company to see if they'd be willing to provide one for me to test out. So, here I am telling you all about the Baby Comfy Nose.
I had absolutely no issue with any of the parts coming loose or undone while using this with Nugget. Granted, she still was ticked that I was sucking her brains out, but she got over it. With it being "allergy season" here in Arizona (yes, seriously), we've had to use this a quite a few times lately. Next, this little device uses a tissue for a filter. Everyone has them on hand, and if you don't some TP will work just the same. Just make sure you use enough. Much more economical and convenient than having to buy those little filters from Nosefrieda. Lastly, the nose piece that actually is inserted into the nose is a soft silicone, and it doesn't hurt.
I definitely prefer the Baby Comfy Nose Nasal Aspirator over the Nosefrieda. And those words, my friends, are words I never expected to

ReplyDeleteI have the Nosefrida & love it over regular aspirators. But I'd love to try this one. I like the different design to make it easier to hold a squirmy baby & use it & that it doesn't require a special filter!
ReplyDeleteI would choose blue. I really hope I win. My son has had sooooooo many colds because Daddy works in healthcare. Thanks for hosting the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteHealthy human lungs generate 5-10 times more suction power than bulb/ battery operated syringes. Wish I knew about these when we had the flu for three weeks this winter.
