How it works

When you finally get to meet your new baby. For the very first time in the hospital, it will be amazing. Then the doctors will send you home with some advice and a bulb syringe designed to suck snot out of your little one’s nose. The first time your baby is congested and fussy and miserable is bound to be at 3 a.m. when you are least prepared for it. Whether you have already attempted to use a bulb syringe and discovered they are; not quite as useful as you expected, or you are trying to research alternatives beforehand. The NoseFrida is an alternative and a massive improvement over the traditional bulb syringe. Specifically, when it comes to getting the snot out of your baby’s nose. Designed by a Swedish pediatric ear, nose, and throat doctor and now recommended by tons of pediatricians in America. The Snotsucker is a healthy, clean, safe, and easy way to help your little one get that annoying mucus out before they are able to blow their nose. By being able to relieve that congestion and pressure from a cold; or just basic stuffiness, you and your baby will sleep better.
