There's nothing more frustrating than a baby with nasal congestion. You want to tell them to "just blow!" already, so, they won't be so uncomfortable, and, can rest easier. However, that usually doesn't work out.

Bulb suction things (affectionately called a "snot sucker" around here) often make baby cry even harder, and, may not be worth the trauma.

Enter the Nosefrida. It's from Sweden, and, the name means "nose relief". It's a plastic tube with a filter that the parent uses with their own mouth to remove mucous from a child's nose. With the filter in place, the parent does NOT come into contact with the mucous, and, there is nor risk of any bacterial contamination.

I was sent one for review, and, had every intention of trying it out around these parts, but, what I didn't factor in was the fact that, in winter, everyone's nasal passages are like the Sahara Desert because of the drying effects of heat.

There's no snot to suck around here. But, I sure wish I'd had something like this when my kids were babies

Anyway, the Nosefirda is $15.00 US and comes in a carrying case with 4 filters. A bag of 20 extra filters is $2.50 US.
