Braun Healthcare Nasal Aspirator 1, BNA100EU. Clear stuffy noses quickly & gently. Electric nasal aspirator for all ages 0+, White

Product Information

Just a gentle squeeze on the soft base is all you need to clear your baby’s airways, allowing for a comfortable night’s sleep or, once they're feeling less stuffy, letting them enjoy toy time on their play mat again. The ‘wings’ on the decongester also make it easy to control. The only real downside is the Braun costs quite a bit more than the ANYDAY and the Nosefrida. But for convenience, ease of use and easy cleaning, these pennies will be well spent. Nasal aspirators are good for babies, as long as you follow the manufacturer’s directions and don’t overuse them. Nasal aspirators help to clear the airways, allowing stuffy babies to sleep and feed more comfortably. Are nasal aspirators safe for babies? This silicone bulb aspirator is suitable from birth and helps when your little one has a cold, which could mean you both end up getting a good night’s sleep. The care instructions are straightforward, just clean inside and outside the aspirator with warm soapy water and rinse well. Job done.

Ease of cleaning: You'll need to clean and dry your baby nasal aspirator properly after each use. Look for models with removable parts and as few parts as possible to minimise the risk of bacteria building up. Some baby nasal aspirators are handwash-only while others can be put in the dishwasher or even a baby bottle steriliser for cleaning. Portability: Most nasal aspirators are small in size, but consider whether your chosen device will fit easily into your changing bag for use on the go. Most nasal aspirators work by using suction to remove mucus from your child’s nasal passages. They are particularly useful when your child is still too young to blow their nose, which is a skill they usually acquire at around three or four years old. Unlike the Nosefrida Baby Nasal Aspirator, the ANYDAY does not use disposable filters, saving you even more money while also reducing your carbon footprint.When used correctly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, a nasal aspirator should not be able to hurt a baby. Certain types of nasal aspirator, such as a bulb suction device, have been known to harm baby’s nostrils when not used carefully. Nasal aspirators are considered a safe and effective method of easing congestion in a baby’s nose, when used in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines. Most manufacturers recommend that their nasal aspirators should only be used up to three times a day, as excessive use may lead to further nasal irritation.

A nasal aspirator should be cleaned after each use to prevent a build-up of bacteria which could lead to infection. Two comfortable tips: Choose the right fit for your little one’s nostrils. Improved bigger holes of the tips will allow an enlarged suction area. Insert the device into your little one’s nostril correctly, it should be tight enough for the device to work properly. Not every nasal aspirator is designed to be used on newborns, babies, and toddlers alike. Make sure you’re getting one that’s intended for your child’s age. Cleaning method

Soap and warm water will be your best friends when it comes to cleaning a nasal aspirator. You want to fully take apart the aspirator before washing to ensure every piece gets clean. If there are spots left dirty, it’s possible for mold to grow.

While Dr. Lavin doesn’t have a preferred type of nasal aspirator, he explains, “Just use it [nasal aspirator] judiciously—only when the mucus really is bothering the baby, not the parent.” It depends on the type of aspirator you have. Bulb-style aspirators should be cleaned internally by squeezing hot, soapy water into the interior, then shaking vigorously. Repeat with clean water several times, then prop the aspirator up so it can drain completely. There are several different types of aspirator on the market.
