DMI Reusable Nasal Aspirator for Baby & Ear Bulb Syringe for Infant - Gentle Mucus Removal Suction to Clear Airway & Nasal | Baby Congestion Relief Nose Sucker for Baby

Works Great and Gentle on Baby! I’ve tried a few nasal aspirators before, and this one is by far the best! It’s easy to use, gentle, and effective at clearing my baby’s congestion. The suction is strong enough to get the job done but not harsh, so my little one stays calm during use. I also appreciate that it’s easy to clean — all the parts come apart and can be sterilized, which is a huge plus for keeping things hygienic. The design is thoughtful and comfortable to hold, making it simple to use even on a squirming baby. If your baby gets stuffy often, this is a must-have item. It has made bedtime and feeding much easier, and I feel confident using it daily. Highly recommend!

We received a blue nasal aspirator from the hospital when our daughter was born, but we wanted a few more to keep handy for the diaper bag and a spare in case we lost the other one and I searched high and low for one that was as close to the one we got from the hospital and this is the winner! This is basically the same as we got from the hospital, but the only difference is that the material is a little thinner. Despite that, it works just as well. We even have a Graco battery operated aspirator and it does a pathetic job compared to this. This aspirator has powerful suction that easily sucks out thick mucus when she has a cold by simply pressing in on the base and letting go a few times in each nostril. It arrived in a sterile, individual package and the price was AMAZING (about $2) considering how much money I wasted on other aspirator brands (Graco, Safety 1st) before I found this. These are easy to clean with soap and water and you can even sterilize them with a microwave steam sterilizer, so they're very durable. I do wish it had some sort of cap to put on the end for when it's not in use. Don't waste your time searching for a better boogie sucker because this is THE best!

Bought this for a constant baby runny nose! It got more mucous than I knew could fit in their nose multiple times during the day! It was incredibly effective! So glad I bought the 2 pack so I have one for home and a diaper bag. It is way better than the crappy Safety 1st one!

As it should be. Quality is good for none brand. Remeber owning this exact one years back but labeled Johnson n Johnson

Literal life saver. We use this almost daily. Can’t recommend enough.

Latest Comments: I am editing this review one more time, after using this product for a couple of years. Everything I wrote before is true but here is all you need to know: These syringes eventually separate at the "equator" where the two halves of the sphere are joined and sealed. This brand does seem to last longer than the others I've tried, but you can just avoid the whole problem. First, when you squeeze the bulb, always squeeze it "pole to pole" (if the bulb were the Earth). So you are always pushing the two halves of the sphere together and not putting any pressure on the "equator" to separate. Second, if the seal does separate at some point on the equator (and eventually it will), a drop of "crazy glue" or "super glue" (or whatever else they call it) on the separation will reseal the joint. I've done that twice in the two years I've used this product. I am editing this review about a year after the original review which follows the "Original Review" header below. I use this syringe several times a day to spray (not as a suctioning mechanism), and the two other brands of syringe I had before this one both came apart at the seam within a couple of months. So I was assuming that that's the way it was going to go. But the first instance of this brand of syringe that I have been using lasted over a year. But based on this single bit of anecdotal evidence I'll keep buying this brand unless things change radically. Also, it seems that my original conjecture, that this syringe might not separate as quickly as the other brands because it has a slightly larger aperture, may have been correct. Original Comments: There is more than one version of this type of bulb syringe on Amazon. They all look pretty much the same, so one problem is that, at least on the ones I've seen, there is no identification code or text on the syringe itself that would allow you to differentiate between versions. This particular one has a 2 oz. capacity (although I don't see it documented anywhere on the website or it's links). Also, this syringe is sterile, so it comes in a plastic enclosure which documents the manufacturer as AMSINO and the product name as AMSure. Generally, when they mention it, all the reviewers agree that it was exactly, or almost exactly, like the one they were given at the hospital. But they sometimes complain that the suction capability of the syringe is not the same as the one they had seen before. And they complain that the syringe separates along the "equator" seam between the top part and the bottom part where the two are fused together. First, all the versions are going to separate eventually. I don't know which versions are better fused but I suspect that the warmer the liquid that the syringe is exposed to, the faster it will separate. The glop they use to make the fusion isn't documented of course, so it's a crap shoot. On the issue of suction power here is my take: One important difference between versions is the size of the opening at the tip. That size is not documented in the specs either. This one has a larger opening than others I've seen and that causes the suction strength (or the spray strength if that's how it's being used) to be lower than that on versions with smaller apertures. Also, if you are spraying, the smaller aperture on other versions will cause you to have to squeeze harder to get the liquid out, and that pressure could well result in the seam separating faster in those other versions.

great quality

I decided to purchase this bulb syringe after reading numerous reviews that it is the same syringe as the one handed out in the hospitals post delivery. I was very excited to find this product on Amazon, as I have searched high and low for a syringe of the same material/quality/size as the one that my baby received post delivery, with very poor results. Most syringes are either made out of flimsy "plastic" material that doesn't provide much suction or are too big or difficult to depress. My daugher has reflux symtpoms, and thus needs to be suctioned after each spit-up (multiple times a day) in order not to choke. Her tiny nostrils as well as her mouth get suctioned regularly per doctor's recommendation. The hospital-given syringe is compact and made out of heavy-duty rubber material that has a lot of "spring" and is easy to depress, plus it fits comfortably in my daughter's nose in order to suction without causing much discomfort, yet producing great results. Per the reviews and descriptions, I expected the same from this syringe. My expectations were let down. The syringe arrived packaged securely and hermetically in a hospital-grade plastic sterile packaging labeled for "ulcer and ear syringe." It was also twice the size of my current syringe. True, it is manufactured from the same high-quality rubber material and works by the same mechanism, however it is very large and barely fits in my 10 week old baby's nostrils. It also provides too much suction due to its size for a small baby. It works, true, but with mixed results due to its overly large size and medical indications. I find it hilarious that this syringe is sold under the premise that it is the same as the one handed in the hospital to post-partum women. It also comes primarily in the search field on amazon when I type "baby nose bulb syringe". I find it very difficult to believe that this huge syringe would be given by anyone in the hosptial to use on a newborn baby. I do find it credible that it is great to use for ulcers and adult ears. I do find that as my baby girl grows, this syringe becomes more usable, however, it cannot and should not be utilized on newborns. I do commend the quality of the item and it can be used successfully on those with larger nostrils, however, hospital-grade newborn syringe it is not.
