Nosefrida Nasal Aspirator, 10 Jun. 2014

I ordered this for my daughter who has been congested since birth, along with Nosefrida nasal drops (sea salt saline drops with no preservatives and lower salt content). I am very happy with both it has helped her to get rid of some big snots that would disturb her eating and sleeping.

Those reviewers who said it didnt work- it works on snots which you can see, it wont pullout mucuous deep in sinus, that will drain into throat, which is good If Nosefrida would pull something out of deep in sinus i imagine it would cause damage or irritation to the sinuses and make the problem even worse. It also does mucuous removal easy to drop breastmilk or couple of saline sprays to the nose, wait few seconds till it loose and couple of quick normal not stong sucks and its out. My girl sometimes wiggles her head but some snots that have come out like string from sinus after the bit i see she has given me smile and has had easier time eating since the newborns are nose breathers only :)...

Didn't work for me, 15 Nov. 2011

I tried a few times on my baby on various occasion between 6-10 weeks and it didn't work for me. Nothing comes out regardless of whether I sucked hard or softly. It doesn't help that it 'frightens' my baby to see this long tube coming towards his face, and he starts wriggling. Two adults is needed just to hold baby still whilst another try to angle the nozzle at his nostrils.

Good, but only if you follow instructions and use new filter every time, 27 Aug. 2014

Good for the child as it sucks the gunk well, but....if the parent is not extremely careful about changing the filters every time they blow/suck babies nose , the parent may pay the price. I had a few throat infections which I believe were caused by sucking bacteria and viruses in. Much better is a Polish product called katarek, which is connected to a vacuum cleaner (I know, it sounds insane, both I and other friendly parents reacted like that, put the little devise, which reduces the suction to the right level to our own noses and realised it was a good choice. It can be bought in online pharmacies. The downside of katarek is that good, very strong vacuum cleaners, such as my dyson, find it difficult to cope with reduced suction and they switch off). For colds and stuffy nose I can also recomend nebulisers, they bring instant relief if special salts are inhaled.
