The medicine dropper is nice, but the nasal aspirator is THE worst one I've tried. There seems to be no such thing as an aspirator that doesn't hurt baby's nose, and that actually sucks right. This one has no suction whatsoever.

These went straight into the recycling bin. The eye dropper doesn't really hold liquid. It sucks it up and then leaks out. The nose sucker doesn't do anything. I still have the nasal aspirator we got from the hospital when my son was born and that is the best thing. My son loves getting his snot sucked out with it and it WORKS. This does not. Don't waste your money.

I need to measure 4.5 ml. The dropper only has whole-ml markings up to 5 ml, but there happens to be an arrow at 4.5. It's hard to control the amount (bubbles and a squishy bulb); I'm sure a glass dropper would work better. But the price was right. I don't use the aspirator.

I like the dropper.

And I like that the tip of the snot sucker is small enough to use on even a newborn's nostril. But the bulb part is too small. I wish it were bigger to get more suction per squeeze. Not very efficient, but it's ok.

While the dropper might come in handy, the nasal suction bulb is useless. The bulb is too small and it has a stopper at the base (for ease of cleaning the inside I suppose) that only loosely fits the hole and therefore the bulb does not provide adequate suction power or suction volume to be of any use. While the concept of a clear spout is nice to be able to see what you suction out, the fact that you get no suction renders it completely useless. You're better off getting a suction bulb like the ones they actually use in the hospital.

Love the dropper. My son has his gripe water mainly with this dropper. He's just so happy when he sees it that he will have anything and everything in liquids that he's suppose to have with this dropper. He would rather have his milk with the dropper than his milk bottle...lol
