Start using Mumsnet PremiumHow to take snot out of a 2week olds nose
(15 Posts)I second the Nose-Frida - best thing I’ve ever bought. It looks scary (and disgusting) but it’s amazing honestly. Just use either a saline spray or drops first to loosen the mucus and then suck the snot out.
Nose-Frida baby snot sucker. Best investment ever! Amazing...
Read Angela's Ashes. 
Not envy.
Baby nose clear, a sucker, was fantastic here. Such satisfaction!! Boots.
Another vote for baby saline spray
The saline sprays by the way (the boots baby one is the best as very gentle mist that sprays out) are better than drops.
My baby doesn't complain at all, have also tried it with my older two and on myself to check and doesn't feel uncomfortable or unpleasant at all. Used separate bottles for everyone of course to reduce chance of spreading germs
Saline nose spray, leave in for a few minutes to loosen the snot, then use a snot sucker if you've got one (the NUK silicone bulb one is the best) or a twisted piece of tissue to gently hook out the snot.
If you haven't got nose spray to hand, then a few drops of breast milk or cooked boiled water will do the trick.
It's horrible when the get congested like that, my little one gets so bunged up with a cold he can barely breathe. The size of the lumps of snot that get sucked out are revolting!
Snot suckered was the best thing for us. I think its a bit cruel putting drops up a little babies nose. Horrible feeling for an adult never mind a little baby.
Saline nose drops- make it yourself - 1/4 teaspoon is salt in a cup of warm water. Use a cotton wool ball and drip 1-2 drops per nostril, 3-4 times, wiping with another cotton ball after each drip. Snot suckers are utterly pointless- they don't go up the nose (obviously) so don't actually do anything, and can cause a little trauma (swelling) cause no one likes something getting shoved up their nose!
Suck it out. Doesn't hurt and works every time
I remember trying snot suckers too on dd, they didn't work, best left unless they are very congested
Tomorrow id go and buy some saline drops. They're really good. Snot suckers are rubbish.
Don't, just leave it. Babies are good at clearing their own noses if they need to.
a warm flannel?
Hi new mum here I do not have a nose sucker and DS doesn't have a cold just has some snot stuck in his nose do you know any remedies I do not have saline drops either
