Bulb syringe baby throat.

Some bulb syringes have a shorter wider nozzle. Your baby cannot blow his her nose so you need to use a bulb syringe to remove excess mucus. Bulb syringes are helpful devices that allow you to remove mucus from your baby s nose. Remove the syringe and squeeze the bulb forcefully to expel the mucus into a tissue.

Insert it no more than of an inch into the nose hole. Once the mucus has loosened use the bulb syringe to suction the mucus from your baby s nose. If your baby is still congested after five to ten minutes apply saline drops again and resuction. Compress the bulb of the syringe to suck out the mucus.

Regardless of what type you use be sure to press it snugly against the nostril to create a seal. Repeat the process in each nostril. If your baby starts sniffling again after a while it s okay to try again but don t use the bulb syringe more than three times every day. A bulb syringe or suction bulb is a small rubber object with a long tip at the end of a bulb.

If your baby is still congested 5 to 10 minutes after you suction you can reapply saline drops and suction again. Don t suction your baby s nose more than two or three times a day though or you ll irritate its. The lining in your baby s nostrils is delicate and you could irritate it and cause bigger problems that you ll need a doctor s treatment for. Before you use the bulb syringe loosen the mucus in your baby s nose with a nose dropper filled with a saline solution.

Sterilize the bulb syringe after each use.
