Once you’ve taken apart the nasal aspirator, simply use warm water and soap to wash it. You can let the pieces soak and then wash, or some are even dishwasher/sterilizer safe. Your nasal aspirator should come with proper cleaning instructions if you’re unsure.

In addition to using saline nose drops for your child, these are some techniques you can use to help lessen congestion: Baby congestion is natural, as your newborn will accumulate mucus in their nose without being able to clear it out.

With so many options on the market when it comes to cleaning your baby’s nose, it’s completely understandable if you’re a little overwhelmed with finding the right solution. The most common choices include a bulb syringe, nasal aspirator, and saline drops and sprays. So, let’s break down how and when to use each of these popular options. Bulb syringe Nasal aspirators have become quite popular in recent years, as many parents feel that they’re more efficient and easier to use than traditional bulb syringes. With this technique, you’ll be creating the suction power with your mouth instead of your hand, as is the case with a bulb syringe. Use the nasal drops prior to feeding so your baby can still breathe through their nose. Don’t use the nasal drops more frequently than every 3 to 4 hours. Safety Precautions to TakeIf your newborn also has a respiratory tract infection, like a cold, their stuffy nose may be worse and accompany other symptoms, such as sneezing, a wet cough, fever, crying, wheezing or a runny nose. In most cases, baby congestion caused by respiratory tract infections can be treated at home with simple remedies that help alleviate symptoms and gradually move the virus out of the body. Although most colds go away in about five to seven days for children, it could take up to two weeks for newborns and younger babies. Baby Congestion Symptoms

Usually, these aspirators also come with disposable filters, so you don’t need to worry that you’ll somehow accidentally suction too hard and get mucus in your mouth.
