Nasal congestion is quite common among babies and children. Newborns and babies under two months of age particularly are nose breathers, meaning they do not know how to breathe through their mouths yet. As a result, they will get irritable quite quickly when suffering from nasal congestion.
There are several factors which may cause nasal congestion in infants such as simple colds, allergies and viral infection. Some symptoms to watch out for are runny nose, snoring, snorting, coughing and sneezing. Usually these symptoms are coupled with difficulty with feeding, agitation or fussiness and difficulty with sleeping.
Most of the time nasal congestion is not serious but hearing your baby struggle to breathe can be pretty awful. Infants do not have the ability to get rid of the mucus themselves, they can’t cough out nor can they blow their stuffy nose, so it’s up to the parents to deal with the nasal congestion. Dealing with your baby’s stuffy nose can be pretty hard and sometimes you just can’t help but feel helpless.
There are several things you can do to help with your baby’s nasal congestion and I’m pretty sure you already know or have tried a thing or two about how to deal with them. Nevertheless, I would like to share this piece of miracle product which I had the opportunity to review.
The CLEARinse nasal cleansing system is a battery-operated nasal cleansing system which makes use of saline irrigation/aspiration. It is an electric device which uses a pump system that creates flow and pressure to aspirate and irrigate the gunk out of your children’s nasal cavity, mimicking what is usually done in hospitals.
Using this product is as easy as 1-2-3. You charge it up, fill it with a saline solution, place it in your baby’s nose and then press the irrigate button. The saline solution loosens up the gunk inside the nose. When you have already irrigated the congested mucus, all you have to do then is to simply press the aspirate button. Voila! No more congested nose for baby!
The best thing about this product is that it is specially designed for baby’s nose. Thus, it fits a baby’s nose perfectly unlike other nose suckers which have big tips, making it impossible to even get inside the nostrils. It is also painless to use which is a big plus factor. We, mommies, never want to see our little babies suffer even if we know it is only for their own good.
The CLEARinse nasal cleaning system is 100% safe to use. It is your medicine-free solution to your baby’s nasal congestion. The use of decongestants and other over-the-counter medications for colds and allergies do not really work and can have harmful side effects on your baby so using them is definitely not a good option. Salt water irrigation followed by suctioning is the only recommended therapy by the American Academy of Pediatrics. You can get the CLEARinse Starter Kit for $98 on their official website www.clearmynose.com. The kit contains one CLEARinse handle, a power charger, two wash heads and ten 3cc saline ampules.
Overall, I am definitely recommending this product to parents. I know this product will surely turn your parenting experience for the better. No more stuffed up, fussy baby equals no more sleepless mommy and daddy.
