Review of Nasobuddy Nasal Aspirator

One of the most common illnesses in early childhood is common cold. It is heart-breaking to see a baby or a toddler struggling with blocked nose. Young babies specially have trouble while feeding because they are naturally nasal breathers and blocked nose can make it difficult for them to feed. One of the important tools that we listed in our first-aid box for babies/toddlers is a nasal aspirator, which is a tool to clean blocked nostrils. Nasal aspirators commonly available in market are bulb aspirators which are not very easy to ease.

 

 

A new product was recently brought to my notice, which has a very convenient design. It is called Nasobuddy nasal aspirator. It can be used to clear little blocked noses easing symptoms of colds.

It is made up of completely safe, non-allergenic, latex-free, BPA-free, and phthalate-free polypropylene. It is manufactured in eco-friendly clean environment.
