Fact #1. Nasal aspirators allow parents and caregivers to physically clear mucus and foreign contaminants from a baby's nasal passages. They're either powered electronically using a battery or wall plug, or powered manually using the breath or hand. The effect is instant relief from nasal congestion for the child.
Fact #2. These devices are the ideal solution for clearing the nasal passages in newborn babies. Babies cannot blow their own noses, obviously. The question that remains is why these babies produce so much mucus. Many people believe this is caused by respiratory illnesses, which is true in some instances. In many cases, however, the matter pulled from the nasal passages is due to something else entirely.
Fact #3. The nasal passages in all humans are equipped with tiny hairs and mucus glands to collect dust, dead skin cells, allergens, and other floating contaminants. This keeps them from entering out lungs. This is a normal process and contributes to stuffiness in both babies and adults.
Fact #4. It's very important that you wash an aspirator before its first use. Pathogens often inhabit them on the trip from the production facility to the baby's nostrils. Once the aspirator has been properly washed, allow it to air dry. Do not heat the units too much with hot water as this may cause volatile organic compounds to release into the air.
Fact #5. After proper washing and sterilization, a nasal aspirator is ready to use once it's fully dried. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions here. Improper use can result in unsuccessful aspiration and a very unhappy baby. Mucus and other waste matter will collect within the designated chamber to be cleaned later. When one finishes using the unit, follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions.
