This nasal aspirator is absolutely amazing. It WORKS. And it is completely non-invasive. My 4 week old newborn caught a cold, and this thing saved me. It cleared her out SO WELL! I had been using a bulb syringe, and she would scream and scream. Plus, the bulb syringe was irritating her nose and causing it to bleed. Once I got the Nosefrida, I was able to suction her nose much more effectively without shoving anything in her nostrils. She barely even cries when I use it. Mostly, she hates the saline drops I use ahead of time. I have to wonder if I didn't start using the Nosefrida if she would have developed a worse infection. All that drainage could have headed to her lungs. I read some reviews on the Nosefrida that said it takes too much lung power. It definitely does take some lung power, but if you have healthy lungs it should be no problem (I had no difficulties). Also, some people said it's hard to hold the infant's head still. I don't think it's any harder to hold the baby's head still than with a bulb syringe (with both aspirators you have just one hand free). Actually, I think it's easier because I know my baby fights the bulb syringe much more than the Nosefrida. One great benefit of the Nosefrida is that you can wash it in the dishwasher. It is a very clean system. I HIGHLY recommend this product!!! Every mom who has a baby should own one. It truly comes down to a safety issue: allowing your baby to breathe.

WOW!!!! This is the best nose sucker on the planet!!!! I was mortified after my chronically stuffy 6 week old son turned his head unexpected while using a traditional bulb aspirator that resulted in a nose bleed. I immediately started looking for a method to clean his nose without having to violate his nose cavity. After much research, I found Nosefrida. I was skeptical at first, but decided it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. A couple of drops of saline and a few quick sucks and wow the mucus AND the harden boogers came out with an ease I couldn't have imagined. It was gross seeing a tube full of slimly, mucus and boogers only inches away from my mouth, but the sweet sound of my son breathing easier made it worth the initial ick factor.
I will say that using the long tube that comes with the Nosefrida is very difficult, requiring massive amounts of lung power. Instead I have clipped tube to just long enough (about 0.5 inch) to attach to the aspirator and it works just dandy. I have also found that taking several strong short bursts in the row (about 5-7) pulls the material out faster with little tugs. Most importantly, no more bloody noses and my son breaths easily and don't scream every time he sees me coming towards him for a nose clean.
I recommend this product to everyone!!!!
