Snotsuckers

[New2020]

The gross subject of baby boogers to add to the list of gross baby things...

This is probably one of those where they are pretty much the same but wondered if people had recommendations

So far have narrowed it down to the snufflebabe and nosefrida...is one any better than the other?

Literally none of these work as well as using your mouth. Grim, but effective.

I’m afraid the only thing that really works is your own mouth. It sounds disgusting but you won’t care 😫

Snufflebabe. My favourite part of parenting

Use your mouth, just make sure you do it near a sink, I learned that one the hard way.

Oh god none of them. You don't need them. The concept is gross and I don't think it's very healthy to stick things up a baby's nose. The snot is there for a reason. If you need to loosen it squirt some breast milk up there or you can buy saline drops at the chemist which work as well. And snuffle babe rubbed on their chest.

I've never used my mouth btw either!

I can’t remember now but I’m sure I used snuffle babe

Came in handy when any of the dc had colds and were struggling

Is there not a nasal aspirator people use? Or are you literally using your mouths? 😩

Saline drops worked well, then I would just remove the horrible crust whilst she was having a feed

I have the nose Frieda, works fine. Haven't tried the other, looks a similar set up having just has a look at it. Can't imagine there's much difference. It's a gross yet strangely satisfying task! 😂 Hope baby's feeling better soon

:o mouth!? I'm sure I'll be filled with maternal lover but I'm not sure I could use my mouth..

Yeah, just googled it.. sorry i was confused haha! Snufflebabe has always had good reviews!

You’ll be surprised what you’re driven to when the sucky thing won’t work and the baby won’t sleep because it’s bunged up and so you can’t sleep till the baby does. And you think I bet I could just suck that out and then I can go to sleep...

Suck, spit, sorted... 😬

I never found they work and with both my DC I’ve never used my mouth; saline drops have helped though when my DS was congested and struggling to feed

I use a nose Frida and it works well.
You don't need to shove it up the baby's nose! Just sits at the end of the nostril and you suck without risk of getting snot in your mouth.

As much as I love my child there's no chance I'm sucking snot out using my own mouth.

I did not know this was a thing! I just use saline drops/spray and tilt the head of the cot up.

Snuffle baby 100%! Snuffle baby saline
Drops and snuffle baby oil/rub

I cannot believe people suck the snot out the baby’s nose! So gross!!!

Saline drops were fine for us

Nosefrieda is useless! I got a pippette type thing from boots, much better

All absolutely useless

DH uses the mouth technique. I never could but it does work well

Can’t believe people suck it out with their mouth 🤮 utterly disgusting! I used a snufflebabe and it was brilliant.

I agree with the others, I bought one and it was useless, my son also wouldnt stay still long enough for me to use it.

I definitely recommend the saline drops from snuffle baby and also calpol plug ins (i think they are for 2 or 3 months plus though).

I could never have used my mouth...God the thought makes me dry heave.

We had this, it was brilliant and I stilk use on occasion now and dd is nearly 7 nuby-uk.com/bath-time-health-care-c10/health-care-c105/nuby-nasal-aspirator-p178

@ButtonHogger and @SaucyTrout2k have it right snufflebabe is the way to go I feckin love it - DH hates the sound but there is genuinely nothing more satisfying . Using your mouth 🤮.

Snufflebabe saline drops & sucker. DD2 was a winter baby & caught every sniffle DD1 bought home from nursery. Snufflebabe stuff really helped.
