If you can aspirate the mucus, you are able to help treat one of the most common problems that children have, which is chronic nasal congestion. The mucus that sits in the nose is a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and viruses. As a result, children will often develop ear infections and sinus infections. As a matter of fact, almost 80% of all children in the US will experience one ear infection by three years of age. If we remove nasal mucus with BabySmile Nasal Aspirator, which is a natural way to do it, we can potentially prevent some of these common childhood upper respiratory infections. As a result, we will hopefully avoid these illnesses and have healthy and happy babies and, of course, happy parents.

“As a doctor and also a mother of two children, I strongly recommend home nasal aspiration, since I know the value of doing it to my own children. It’s my sincere hope that the wonders of home nasal care will be introduced to American parents, and will help support the health of babies and mothers in the US.”

I personally recommend it for my little patients. Parents are very happy with it, easy to use and very effective. In my observation, I am seeing much less ear infections, if parents are starting to use it from the beginning of respiratory symptoms. Kids usually are not able to blow their noses well, this suction device is amazing! Some older kids are even requesting the suction!

• Appearance: Excellent.Clean, simple, easy to figure out, intuitively set up, great colors,excellent instruction set. • Set-up: Very Good. Simple, easy to use, easy to clean, stable on any flat surface. Intensity dial may be easier to see if it was on top. Tubing may not need to be so long, and may be affecting suction power (As you know, per Poiseuille’s law, laminar flow is inversely proportional to length.) Canister may not need to be so big, which could decrease the overall size of the machine.
• Safety:Very Good/Excellent. Great that it is BPA-free. Nose piece is small enough to fit one average size infant nostril but not too small to go inside to cause mucosal damage/edema, buttons safely placed (on/off opposite side from intensity dial). Suction intensity enough to work without causing injury to skin.
• Efficacy/Tolerability:Very Good/Excellent. Effectively suctions mucus but works better with saline drops prior to each use.Works quickly (in seconds). Very tolerable- works well on my newborn baby without any crying or fussing at all.
• Range: Excellent for a wide range of ages. Nothing works better on my 19 month-old daughter’s nose, and it works just as well when she was a newborn!

As a Pediatric Allergist/Immunologist, I recommend the BabySmile Nasal Aspirator. When a small child has copious nasal secretions (from allergy or even illness), the aspirator works quickly and effectively. It is easy to use and clean. Outside of the clinic, I have used it with my own children too! This is truly a great product!
