The Nosefrida sheds new light on mucous=20 elimination

Posted Feb 1st 2007 3:01PM by Heather=20 Craven
Filed under: Health and = Safety

A couple of years ago I ran across a = product I=20 would dearly have loved to have, it was a contraption that sucked mucous = out of=20 a young child's nose. My friend who was visiting me from Mexico City had = brought=20 it with her to use on her 10 month-old baby. We looked all around so = that I=20 could get one for Devon, but our efforts were in vain. Ever since then I = have=20 thought of that booger sucker every time I try to use those cumbersome = bulb=20 aspirators on Devon's nose.

A Blogging Baby reader sent us a tip = on where=20 to find such a booger sucker, and it even has a name: the Nosefrida. the gadget has one end = that is=20 inserted into a child's nose and on the other end the parent uses = suction to=20 remove the mucous. Although it sounds like a major bit of ick, there is = no need=20 to fear. The Nosefrida comes equipped with a special filter that = guarantees no=20 boogers will ever end up traveling the length of the tube. This gadget = is a must=20 have for small children and runny noses.

1. These "booger and mucous traps" are very common in France. = Wherever=20 there's a baby, you are sure to find one of these around. It's = disgusting to do,=20 but so efficient that it's worth doing it.
Something else which is = very=20 common here and that I had difficulty finding abroad (while it is very = efficient=20 and harmless to beat the runny noses or blocked boogers...) are the = nasal drops=20 of saline water.
