Helping Young Kids with Colds
My baby has a cold and has been snuffling all night. The poor mite is finding it hard to breathe and there is not much I can do to help… or so I thought. I have just come across a Swedish invention called the Nosefrida that might be just the ticket:
The site says:
Nosefrida is a plastic tube with a filter that the parent uses with their own mouths to get the mucous out of their children’s noses.
There is a filter in place so the parent will not come into contact with the snot but this is not a gadget for the squeamish!
At the moment $15 seems a small price to pay for a good night’s sleep

When my son was a baby I met someone on a train who just sucked the snot out of her baby’s nose, no filter or tube involved.
I tried it once.
It was a bit revolting, but not as bad as clearing up vomit, and it did the trick.
