Between 5-10 minutes

-How old is the child that you tested Stérimar Baby with?
My son is 13 months old.
-What were your first impressions of Stérimar Baby?
I liked look of nozzle and speed of spray, never used a product like this before to clear his nose but thought also the bottle would be of interest to him so wouldn't be a hard sell to get near him to try as he is a little older!
-How easy was it to administer the product?
Simple, very easy, seems to work at any angle, and we tried a lot of them! He didn't like it however and became quite distressed after I did get him with it. Guessing the sensation wasn't nice.

Quite quickly, I would guess a few minutes.

Age of baby: 10 months
First impressions: you get a lot in the bottle/canister.
How easy is it to administer: very easy. DD even seemed to enjoy it, and tipped her nose up to help!!
How soon, if at all, after using the product did you notice that your child could breathe easier?: very quickly - it was satisfying to see the mucus coming out of her nose. It lasted a while too and seemed to help her nose keep running instead of getting blocked.

-How old is the child that you tested Stérimar Baby with? DS was 8 weeks old at first use

-What were your first impressions of Stérimar Baby? The bottle was a little larger than I expected, other than that I liked the design

-How easy was it to administer the product? DS really doesn't like anything near his nostrils so it was a little tricky to keep his head still and press the nozzle at the same time!

-How soon, if at all, after using the product did you notice that your child could breathe easier? I noticed a difference within a couple of minutes, I was quite surprised by just how much mucus he got rid of (sorry if TMI)

I used the adults version of this spray whilst I was pregnant with DS and was suffering with sinusitis and it was an absolute godsend so I was really pleased to see a version made for babies and children and we will definitely be buying and using it again.

-How old is the child that you tested Stérimar Baby with?

8 months

-What were your first impressions of Stérimar Baby?

Easy to use.

-How easy was it to administer the product?

Very easy - applicator is much better than other products I have used.

-How soon, if at all, after using the product did you notice that your child could breathe easier?

Almost immediate. It seemed to help much more than other products and baby's nose seemed much less blocked.

How old is the child that you tested Stérimar Baby with?
2Yrs (4 year old tried it too)

-What were your first impressions of Stérimar Baby?
Liked that it was natural and bottle looked good.

-How easy was it to administer the product?
Very easy, although the spray was quite strong and so scared the children slightly (until I let them try it on me to show it was fine). I think a younger child wouldn't have an awareness of what was going to happen, so would be calmer.

-How soon, if at all, after using the product did you notice that your child could breathe easier?
Straight away - the spray cleared their noses immediately. I used it on me too and was really happy with how quickly and easily it helped with breathing.

-How old is the child that you tested Stérimar Baby with?

Straight a way it was easier to breath

-What were your first impressions of Stérimar Baby?
Good, all positive. I liked the packaging and it being 100% natural was a big thumbs up. A decent size as well.,
-How easy was it to administer the product.
No problems at all, really easy. My daughter was a bit unsure at first.
-How soon, if at all, after using the product did you notice that your child could breathe easier
Within about ten minutes, which was great as she had been having difficulty sleeping and when we used that her nose cleared and she could sleep properly

-How old is the child that you tested Stérimar Baby with? DD is 2 years, 9 months
-What were your first impressions of Stérimar Baby? The packaging and bottle looked good and informative.
-How easy was it to administer the product? Reasonably easy, although DD did not like it at all and after the 1st go, would not do it again.
-How soon, if at all, after using the product did you notice that your child could breathe easier? Pretty much straight away she was less congested.

14 months
Packaging was nice, it was easy to understand how to use the product
Very easy to administer and best of all little one actually let me do it without any fuss
Relatively quickly, his little nose ran like a river and he wasn't as snorty at night time.

How old is the child that you tested Stérimar Baby with?
3 month old

-What were your first impressions of Stérimar Baby?

Smart bottle. Nicely packaged.

-How easy was it to administer the product?

Easier than i thought. I was very skeptical but it proved me wrong.

-How soon, if at all, after using the product did you notice that your child could breathe easier?

Very soon after. It helped bring the mucus down and this helped with the stuffiness.

-How old is the child that you tested Stérimar Baby with? 2 months
-What were your first impressions of Stérimar Baby? I am familiar with the packaging as I use the adult version. I like the colours and the dolphin was cute
-How easy was it to administer the product? Easy (although I would say that you have to be very accurate as to where on the nozzle you press, also I am constantly squirting my daughter in the eye as I withdraw the nozzle too early!! ) - the rounded tip makes it less scary than other tips which are more conical and too wide for little noses
-How soon, if at all, after using the product did you notice that your child could breathe easier? The spray came at the beginning of the baby's first cold (toddler brother coughing all over her!). I used it both on its own and in conjunction with a nasal aspirator and it was excellent! I think the spray manages to reach 'higher' up the nose than others I've used (and I know from using it myself the actual 'feel' of the spray is not as forceful as it appears). Thank you for allowing me to test. It couldn't have come at a better time!

-How old is the child that you tested Stérimar Baby with?
23 months

-What were your first impressions of Stérimar Baby?
Nice packaging, name sounds a bit like a self-catering complex in Benidorm

-How easy was it to administer the product?
Easy to administer the first nostril. But that's as far as I got.
DS wouldn't let me near the other nostril. He screamed, he fought, he pushed me away and shouted NO MUMMY even though I explained that the medicine spray would make his poorly nose better. He's had a near-constant nose drizzle for the past 2 months and every time I hopefully got the Sterimar out he would start crying.
The can has now disappeared. I expect he hid it somewhere and I'll discover it in 2018 down the back of the TV cabinet or similar.

-How soon, if at all, after using the product did you notice that your child could breathe easier?
I didn't notice. We only managed 1 nostril in 2 months.
