3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't replace bulb aspirator, January 10, 2008

After using this for about 2 months on our now 6-month old, we are glad that we have this available to us, but the good old hospital bulb aspirator does a better job most of the time. This is because the bulb creates a short, high-velocity suction that causes the rush of air to pull along whatever is "down there" (or is it "up there"?), whereas the battery-operated unit has a constant, low-speed suction that only sucks in what the tip actually contacts.

There is at least one situation where this is an advantage - it worked much better than the bulb when she had a very runny nose due to a cold. In this case, the constant suction really kept pulling out more mucus, whereas the bulb could only suck a little each time.

So overall, we are happy to have another option, but it isn't usually the best tool for the job.

This review is from: Bébésounds Nasal Clear Battery Operated Nasal Aspirator (Baby Product)

Some of the reviewers are saying that the suction is not strong enough for thick mucus. This is not mucus you should be trying "suck" from your infant's head regardless, until you've loosened it up. A quick spray or dripping of something like "Little Noses" or "Ocean" saline nasal spray will do the job of loosening up mucus nicely and quickly. Apply a few drops into each nasal passage with baby lying down, let it work for a minute or two, and then suck away using the wide tip rather than the long thin tip. The wide tip forms a better seal over baby's nose and is not as invasive as the longer thinner one. This is a great product for sure!! Soooo much better than the bulbs of old. Quicker to use, so less torture for your baby and when used properly, it gets out so much more mucus than a manual bulb.

4.0 out of 5 stars Musical Snot Sucker, July 5, 2007

I've got to wonder about the person who came up with this little gadget. A musical snot sucker. Genius!

We all know that the blue bulb syringe is a horrible torture for little noses. This battery operated nasal aspirator is a tender answer to infants' prayers. It gently sucks out mucus with the accompaniment of a snippet of music. My daughter is so distracted by the music that she forgets to cry.

My only quibble is that I wish the suction were a little stronger. That is the only thing that moved this rating from 5 to 4 stars. Yet when you compare the product to the bulb syringe, this is a 5 star product all the way. I'm recommending it to all my friends.
