I. Is it necessary to buy a baby nasal aspirator?
A nasal aspirator is not a must-buy baby product.
A nasal aspirator is used to clear your baby’s blocked nose and other secretions. Babies’ nasal passages are sometimes blocked by secretions. Since babies can’t clean their own snot, they must rely on parents to help them clean. The role of the nasal aspirator is to absorb a large amount of nasal mucus and secretions at one time.
Many mothers who have used nasal aspirator report that nasal aspirator is basically useless. Since the baby is still young, one accident may injure the baby. There are also many mothers who say that they use cotton swabs to help their babies pick out the secretions, and do not need to use a nasal aspirator.
Of course, there are also a small number of mothers who think nasal aspirator is useful. Because the baby has a lot of nasal mucus after a cold, and it is relatively long. After using the nasal aspirator, the long mucus in the baby’s nose is quickly absorbed.
To sum up, we believe that nasal aspirator is not a must.
Second, is the nasal aspirator harmful to the baby?
Generally, the nasal aspirator is rarely harmful to the baby, but sometimes it may be used improperly. It will cause the following injuries:
1. The size of the nasal aspirator is wrong, because the nasal aspirator is strictly matched according to the age of the patient. If the size of the nasal aspirator is wrong, it may cause damage to the nasal mucosa including the nasal vestibule, which may easily induce mucosal bleeding and ulceration;
2. Use nasal suction Local disinfection treatment must be done when using the nasal aspirator. If the nasal aspirator is not properly disinfected after use, the surface will easily breed bacteria or viruses. When it is used again, it is easy to induce local erosion of the nasal cavity, including nasal vestibulitis, rhinitis, etc. some diseases. At the same time, the clinical application of the nasal aspirator should be gentle and avoid roughness.
Three, which is the best nasal aspirator for babies

1. Look at the type: There are many kinds of nasal aspirator on the market now, but for softer babies like babies, mothers can choose a pump-type nasal aspirator. Because it is easy to carry and has a relatively large volume, it is a good choice as long as mothers pay attention to their usual strength.
2. Look at the shape: the round hole at the front of the nasal aspirator determines how much the baby’s nasal secretions are absorbed, so pay more attention when choosing a round hole, don’t choose too big or too small , as long as it is appropriate. Otherwise, if it is too large, the baby’s nostrils may be stretched and the nose will be uncomfortable. But holes that are too small can make it difficult to suck out nasal secretions.
