My 6mo baby has huge dry bogeys way up in her nose every single day. I can see them if I lie her down and look up her nose, but I can also hear them, which is what really makes me want to get them out. Her breathing sounds all stuffy and uncomfortable. Sometimes I can hook them out with my little fingernail and she just sounds so much better, but usually they're too far up.
The nasal aspirator does nothing because they are dry. Even with saline solution they're just not sucked by it at all.
I don't want to be sticking all sorts of things up her nose, but is there a way I can gently get them out? She just sounds so uncomfortable, especially at night with her little mouth closed and her taking these huffy nose breaths blocked by gigantic bogeys. She's my third baby and neither of my other two had anything like this problem.
