how can I get her boogies out?!

Cait_SeptemberMommy · September 2011

My daughter has some boogies that I can't get out with the aspirator. I have a small and bigger aspirator and neither of them can get them out. She has really narrow nasal passages too. And I feel so bad for her cause she's breathing all stuffy and blocked up.

How else can I get them out?

I got a booger sucker (battery operated) at target, it works awesome

A great investment it comes with different heads so I can use it with my 5 year old too

Get some baby saline and then turn on your shower hot and stream up the bathroom. Sit in there with her like 10 minutes and then spray both sides. All of the moisture should allow them to come right out

my baby is congested a lot which the doc said was normal cause of the season change. A humidifier was a life saver so maybe get one of those two

@ARand89 an electric boogar sucker?! that's crazy..never heard of one before...lol How does it work?

@akmommy @mama2be11_4_11 oh yeah, I totally forgot about the saline...the nurses did that to her in the hospital! Thanks for reminding me!

You just put the batteries in (it comes with them) then you put the tip on press the button and it works kind of like a vacuum and sucks them right out! I love it

Qtips r great for my daughter

Cait_SeptemberMommy · September 2011

@beaded_bunny @lovemyangelbabys do you wet them at all, or just stick the qtip in the nostral?

Im glad Im not the only one who picks their kids nose. I got a little gift set that had a nasal aspirator, saline spray, and boogie wipes. Generally though I just stick him in his bouncer in the bathroom while I take a steamy shower and then use the boogie wipes to clean up the runniness. I love them, when I was just using diaper wipes his poor little nose got so chafed.

No I just stick it in works great especially when shes sick

beaded_bunny · September 2011

Nope.
I don't like using the aspirator cause the sucking pressure excites the snot makers to work double time

I like sucking the boogies out of my babies nose with the aspitatorr, lol.

Feel so bad..

my mom is the apartment manager here and she was walking by outside and asked if I pinched him because he was screaming lol. He has to have his nose cleaned almost daily. Idk why its so bad.
