Clinically Tested Baby Nasal Aspirator - Vacuum-Powered Nose Sucker with Suction Head & Cleaning Brush for Safe and Gentle Relief

This thing is awesome! For weeks now my wife and I have struggled to keep our 3 month old daughters nose clean, especially at night. We've spent quite a bit on humidifiers, and we tried a few different nasal aspirators. You can read about some of the other aspirators toward the end, and the different struggles we had with them. Alternatively, just read the TL;DR if you don't care for the rest of it.----------------------------------------------TL;DR----------------------------------------------The Baby Vac is the best aspirator that we've used so far. It is relatively cheap, and connects to any vacuum with a detachable hose. It takes me literally about 1 second per nostril and I remove more mucus than I ever did with the bulb syringe (the best aspirator I had before this). Since I've used this, I clean her nose right before bed, and she is good through the whole night. Before this I had to clean her nose multiple times through the night, and it was a miserable affair for the whole family each time: My daughter crying, I'm battling her knowing that the alternative is that she doesn't eat or breathe well through the night, and my wife either hears her screaming for 10+ minutes or gets engorged because our daughter can't eat due to her stuffed nose. Now we all sleep much better through the night.It comes with an extra tip, so that you always have one ready, and a pipe cleaner type brush to help scrub the insides in case you forget to rinse well after use.----- More Details ------I tested it out on myself to know what I was subjecting my daughter to: The suction is very gentle on even sensitive skin (like the inside of a nose), but strong enough to get the job done very quickly! I will say though, it was a challenge for me to breathe through the suction, so I would not subject an infant to more than a few seconds at a time with this, but you shouldn't need more than that anyway. My nose was pretty clear, or so I thought, but the Baby Vac extracted more than I could with just nose blowing. This may become a family item (though proper sanitation between uses is a must)!I only have 1 complaint: the included hose is not very long. This forces me to bring the vacuum very close to my daughter, which causes her to jump and get scared the whole time because of the loud noise. Even though the noise startles her, she doesn't fight much because I don't have to stick anything in her nose, and it all happens so fast that she doesn't have much time to react. Thankfully it only takes around 10-15 seconds (including lining up the approach and making sure her head is stable) to get the job done, so it's worth putting her though it instead of the 10+ minutes with all the other devices.----------------------------------------------Bulb Syringe----------------------------------------------The bulb syringe given to us at the hospital was the best tool we had, but it was dangerous to clean her nose with it lately once she discovered her arms and she has become aware to what the bulb means. We ended up scraping the inside of her nose a few times from her increased vigor. It also took us a while to get everything, but it seemed like she was pretty clear if we had the diligence (turns out the syringe was not getting nearly all of it though). Additionally, we've seen pictures of the bulbs cut open, and it's not pretty (mold and all that).----------------------------------------------Battery Powered Aspirator----------------------------------------------We tried one from Graco, but the suction wasn't enough to pull much out, and it took a while before anything began to emerge. Overall our daughter hated this thing and it never got as much as the bulb syringe did.----------------------------------------------NoseFrida----------------------------------------------We really wanted to like this. There were a few problems though:1) The instructions don't give any measure of how much suction is safe (though admittedly it would be hard to put a qualitative measure to that). As a result we played it safe and never got her nose clear.2) Health - this was ultimately the reason we threw this thing out. My wife and I both used this on our daughter, and got sick the following day. My wife was using it very vigorously and became much more sick than I, so I feel there is a correlation between the 2 events. Really it comes down to one person inhaling another persons bacteria, and the lungs are an excellent medium for the wrong bacteria to thrive. The nature of this product means that you are almost always using it where there is an increase of nasty bacteria to inhale too. We've just about kicked whatever we got, but it's taken a week and a half so far.

This item helped us retain our sanity. One of our kids got RSV at 6 weeks old and again around 5 months. After the first round, we bought this to help clear things out for our kid.I don’t know what I expected but what we found was that this offered close to the same suction as in the hospital. Our kid didn’t like it, but it worked well and we no longer had to lose our breath with the Frida nose sucker.

I am a pediatric nurse. This is equivalent to our hospital equipment. Best product I've ever used for my kids. Can't recommend it enough. I will literally tell everyone with children about this product.

My pediatrician recommended this and it is the best. Please don’t trust the manual suction with the filters, I used to use that and would fall sick every time. I would highly recommend this product.

A nurse at the e.r. Told me about this right after I made a comment about needing the medical grade suction thing she used on my son to get his mucus out of his nose, at home—this thing does not disappoint! Must have for anyone with a baby on the house.

My baby was hospitalized for RSV recently. This was the number one recommended nose sucker by all the ER and floor doctors and nurses. It’s actually written even on the discharge paper work. I ordered it before we were admitted and had my husband have it ready when we got home. Definitely gets all the boogars out and I was worried it would be too strong because it’s connected to the vacuum but it’s gentle! I even tried it on myself. Just took one star off because the fluid/mucus goes back in the tube to the vacuum. If you suction correctly you know that you use a lot of saline in one nostril while suctioning the other nostril like they do in the hospital. Wish it were longer tubing as well. But for the price it’s really one of the only snot suckers that compares to hospital grade suction (I should know I’m also a nurse and a mom of 3). Definitely a good tool to keep around for sick season. Works better than the one you suck with your mouth too or any hand held electric suction.
