Nosefrida Baby Nasal Aspirator with 4 filters and 20 Additional Filters

No, seriously, just buy this thing. It sounds gross but WOW does it work. The bulb syringe just pisses the baby off and does absolutely nothing in terms of clearing their nose. This thing also pisses my baby off, but it actually gets the snot out. And believe me, when your baby has a cold and can't nurse, won't sleep and nothing will work, you will be very grateful for this item. Many mom friends of mine have rejected the thought of this thing until their little one gets all stuffed up -- then they call me "What was the name of that thing? I NEED one!" Disgusting, but oh so satisfying. I wish I had one of these with my older two kids.

The other thing is that I never felt like the bulb syringe was clean. I mean how do you wash the inside? With this I know I've rinsed all the funk out. It's really a great item. Just buy it.

I got this snot sucker based on the other Amazon reviews and I have not been disappointed. My daughter recently came down with her first cold and I found myself in need of a good snot sucker. I was using the bulb syringe that I was given at the hospital- it seems to be getting some mucus, but I felt like there was still a lot in her nose that could come out. The Nosefrida has been much more effective at removing mucus from my baby's nose, or at least it seems like it.

The Nosefrida seems a little gross when you first look at it- it seems like you'll be sucking snot right into your mouth! Once you use it, though, you realize that you would have to collect a lot of mucus in the large tube before it would even reach the filter and tubing. I haven't used a motorized aspirator, but it seems like the Nosefrida would have the advantage of having more suction (at least when I do it) and it doesn't have a noisy motor. One thing that I love about this aspirator is that you can see... Read more

Unfortunately, we didn't find out about this until recently. We are currently pregnant with our second child and had a terrible time using a bulb syringe on our first, who had/has struggled with allergies that made it difficult for him to nurse or sleep. We ordered this to have on hand after baby arrives but yesterday our three year old came down with a head cold that is producing copious amounts of snot. While he sort of knows how to blow his nose, as he's been choking and coughing to the point of throwing up, we didn't think he was doing as well as he could. In a fit of inspiration we decided to try the Nosefrida on him. Wow! I can't believe how well it works. My husband and I agree it is very satisfying to use because you can know for sure you're making a difference. Our son will now offer his nose to us if we come at him with the Nosefrida, so apparently he appreciates how well it works too. Highly recommend! Even if you aren't expecting a tiny one, I'd recommend getting... Read more
