But after watching her use it and seeing how much more completely it cleared snot compared to the low capacity blue bulb I converted. Besides the filter, the tube you suck though is really so long that there's no way an infant level of mucus could reach the end. Not to mention that you'd need the lung capacity of an Olympic swimmer to suck it all the way there even if they did.

Bulb syringes took much longer to relieve all 3 of my babies of some pretty gnarly reserves of mucous during cold/flu season. It helps to have a good set of lungs. And, as gross as snot suckers may seem, I think that if you can keep your lunch down while changing a loaded diaper, clearing breathing passage with a filtered straw is a piece of cake.friedharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418748074605824597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-43371643799216637102016-05-24T08:32:20.401-05:002016-05-24T08:32:20.401-05:00My daughter has used a snot-sucker for her babies ...My daughter has used a snot-sucker for her babies -- it sounds gross, but it works great and really helps alleviate the symptoms for the little ones.bobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630155350181764731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-15352678693630087252016-05-24T07:57:05.304-05:002016-05-24T07:57:05.304-05:00Yes, the blue bulb extractor was good enough.Yes, the blue bulb extractor was good enough.Privatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757585399827295128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-5062650955740283462016-05-24T07:45:47.966-05:002016-05-24T07:45:47.966-05:00My children swear by them for their babies as I ga...My children swear by them for their babies as I gag. Babies sleep on their backs now- no mucous can leave the nose and migrate to crusty sheets. Also, babies cannot draw up their legs to expel gas from this position. . New problems, new solutions. No sudden death syndrome- but kids with some sleep impediments. Parents need their sleep too- <br /><br />I cannot speak to the bumwasher- I know parents are trying to reduce chemical exposure in wipes. Soon washcloths will return to service.
