Babies feel irritated when you stick hard plastic up their noses. Luckily, the tip of this nasal aspirator is made from a soft and flexible silicone and feels soft against your baby's nostril.
It is difficult to suck thick snot and booger from your baby's nose since they cling on for dear life. You will have to suck hard to get it out and doing that might get some mucus in your mouth. It is therefore advisable for parents to put in saline drops on their babies' nostrils before using an aspirator.
