Dr. Talbot's Nasal Aspirator for Babies - Silicone - with Storage Case - Blue Elephant

Hands down, the BEST nasal aspirator there is! It's so soft and easy to push. It has great suction. The arched tip puts it in the exact spot it needs to be in your little one's nose. It has a cute little travel case which I also found very helpful to keep it clean after being washed and sanitized. It's the perfect addition to any diaper bag! Great little add-on for a shower gift, as it's super inexpensive. The elephant 🐘 design is the cutest and matches probably half of the things my baby has! I love how you can see inside of it, as well so, you know if there's anything funky growing in there! I've heard of people cutting the hospital bulbs open after awhile of use and finding MOLD! 🫨 I also love how it disassembles for cleaning, which will make it last so much longer! The best part is, my little NICU warrior that came home 2 days ago at 2 months old, is NOT phased by it whatsoever! At times, I think he may even enjoy it! What mama hasn't absolutely dreaded "nose sucking" time?! Well, here is your solution! I'm actually buying another one.. one to keep at home and one for the diaper bag! 🐘🩶🐘

I got two of these by accident when I was pregnant and was kicking myself because I didn’t think we’d use them much. We used them every other day when my baby was a newborn. They can’t blow their own noses and our poor baby was super congested and noisy. We used this snot sucker with saline. Having two meant we always had one clean, which was definitely necessary. He HATED the saline and snot sucking, but he’s five months now and is now much better with it! They will absolutely hate it, but we have sucked some MASSIVE boogers out with this thing. The removable top means it’s super easy to clean, but it’s sturdy enough where the removable top doesn’t cause it to lose any suction. We haven’t had any issues with it being less effective over time. The top has stayed as tight as when it was new. It’s clear so you can see what you’ve gotten out (sometimes it’s hard to tell if you’ve gotten a booger or if it’s gotten snorted back up). We put this through the dishwasher and sterilizer. It does get water spots on it! We also have a silicone brush we use to get the gunk out if needed, but if you rinse it right away that’s not an issue. We have also used the tiny brushes for silicone straws on it and they work well. Definitely recommend. Also it’s shaped like an elephant which is adorable :)

Must have! This nasal aspirator works so well! The suction is great and I love that you are able to disassemble the aspirator to clean it making it more hygienic compared to the traditional nasal bulbs that come in safety kits. As a nurse and mom I highly recommend this no fuss no battery option!

Update around the 12 month mark: baby boy is sick with daycare crud and has been super congested. We've been using the Nose Frida and the hospital bulb and he has SCREAMED through both of them. We just used this bulb and he giggled through it and we were able to get so much snot out. I. Am. Amazed. We got this bulb 4 months after we brought our baby home from the hospital. We had been using the one we got from the hospital, which was fine but baby haaaaated it. I was also grossed out by the fact that we couldn't clean it. We were using it a lot because baby would keep drinking milk and never stop and we only knew he was full when it came out of his nose during his burp... then we had to clean his nose out every time. We needed one on both floors because we would have to sprint up or down the stairs looking for the bulb if we didn't bring it with us. This bulb is much softer and smaller than the hospital issued one, which made baby not scream every time we used it! I also LOVE that you can see in it and that you can take it apart, wash it, and let it dry fully before using again!! The carrying case is a huge bonus that we weren't looking for but are glad we got. I have recommended this product to all of my mom-to-be friends already!

Love that it can come apart and can clean easily. The best part is that it’s clear so you can make sure no mold or buildup accumulates!!

UPDATE: removed one star because it is hard to clean - the “trunk” is fine but the opening to the base is not wide enough to fit a bottle brush and if you put it in the dishwasher you get deposits as it dries. Overall still pleased with my purchase though! You don’t use it very often but when you need it you will appreciate it!! This item is beautiful (which is a weird word to describe a snot sucker). The quality of the silicone is unmatched and the color reminds me of a crystal clear beach in the South Pacific. Functionally it works great and the suction is VERY powerful compared to the one we got at the hospital, so I would be a little careful when using it. It is easy to clean because it is 2 pieces, but keep I mind you do need a small wire brush (pictured) to get inside the “trunk”, which does not come with the item. The best part? It comes with a plastic cover so you don’t get lint and germs on it.

We have a baby who is constantly stuffy. I bought this at one night after peering down the tube of the one from the hospital and being accosted with a narrowing tube of dried boogers. This one is nice because you can see what you get out AND you can clean it! I'm always torn between fascination and revulsion whenever I use it. But it's satisfying and very effective.

It’s not often these days that form meets function. This little elephant bulb does it well. First, it’s just so darn cute. Plus it is the cutest color (I go wild for all things teal/mint colored). It comes with this fantastic lightweight hard case. This is crucial because the material has a slight tacky feel to it, and it will pick up hair like crazy if left to, say, roll around the bottom of one’s bag. I can’t speak to the suction power of this lil guy, but the squirting ability is pretty great. The one drawback is sometimes a bit of water will come through the threads where the head attaches to bulb. I’d say this is minor because we’re not needing the spraying power of a super soaker here, folks. I use mine not for a baby, but to flush fountain pens, and it does a great job. Though sometimes water comes out the threads area, I’m very grateful that the head detached for full cleaning, sterilization, and drying. Any bulb that can’t do that oughta be thrown out in my book. I like that it’s transparent, too, so you can see it’s fully cleaned. This might be extra important if you’re using it as a boogie vacuum. Overall, whoever designed this thing knew what they were doing and did it very well. Don’t waste your money on cheaper bulbs. The case this one comes with and the ability to fully sterilize it blows all other competing products out of the water.
