"As a practicing pediatrician for 32 years, I've always told parents that the most
important thing they can do in relieving infant and newborn congestion is to suction out the mucus.
The BabyComfyNose infant nasal aspirator is ideal and works easily."
Edward McCabe, M.D., Boulder, Colorado
Nasal congestion can range from a mild annoyance to a life-threatening condition. Newborns can only breathe through the nose (newborns are "obligate nose breathers"). Infant congestion can interfere with breastfeeding and cause life-threatening respiratory distress. Mucus that remains in the nose for long periods of time can cause sinus infections that can spread to the ears.
Newborn and Infant congestion can interfere with the ears, hearing, and speech development. Significant congestion may interfere with sleep, cause snoring, and can be associated with sleep apnea.
Please Note that the BabyComfyNose, nor any other Infant nasal aspirator, will address congestion due to inflamed blood vessels of the nasal membranes. However, the BabyComfyNose infant nasal aspirator effectively and quickly removes loose mucus that causes newborn congestion - a source of general misery for your child.
