Thank you everyone! I will try saline next time and if needed, the hydrasense too. I would not hesitate to sick boogers out of her nose but thank goodness we have hospitals where they can suction infants who need it.

I used the Safety 1st one and I agree, It dosent work well.
The only one that's ever worked for us is the NoseFrida ('The Snot Sucker')

You can find them at baby boutique type stores, one in Vancouver is 'Baby's World'
I use some saline spray and then the NoseFrida to suck out the gunk, works like a charm!
Ok sorry if this sounds ed but why wouldn't you just let it be? Boogers are there for a reason! I have never sucked or attempted to take boogers out of my kids nose. Am I a bad mama!? Lol
Don't think so. :shrug: lol
I usually leave his boogies, but we have electric heat in our townhouse so it gets very very dry. Sometimes DS makes snorting sounds when he's breathing or he snores (which he never does) so that's when I know it's time to suck those boogers out. :lolsign:
I am going to sound like I should win "Bad mother of the year" for this, but....when it is a dry hard booger, I let him cry it out .... literally, he cries and the booger comes popping out.
We've got the Safety 1st battery operated one, and it SUCKS!! DS HATES it and won't let me go anywhere near his nose with it. One thing I've noticed recently is that they come out in the pool like crazy!! Not sure if it's the chlorine or the humidity in the pool room.
And the reason you have to suck out the snot is because they can't breathe properly when drinking, so they won't drink as much and become dehydrated.
I use hydrasence and think it works great!
i know my sister used this weird sucky thing looked like a bulb and a turkey baster LOL
sometimes she uses her pinky finger or a qtip lol
