If you have a nose bulb as part of your regimen to unclogged snotty, stuffy noses, I highly recommend getting rid of it. NOW! If you care to know why I say this, google "nose bulb mold" or something similar. Even when you "wash" the bulb, moisture remains trapped in there and grows mold. And you stick that thing up your baby's nose!! I didn't have the guts to cut my ours open when I got rid of it a couple months back, but I'm so happy we found a solution.
This household now swears by the NoseFrida, The SnotSucker. Granted, there will be just as many people grossed out by the idea of this than the bulb, but I promise you it is sanitary! And machine washable!
Basically how this product works is you vacuum snot out of your baby's nose with your own breath. The tube is long and there is a "filter," but snot gets NOWHERE near even the back of the plastic portion, let alone the tube.
And let me tell you how efficient this thing is. The amount of snot that you can get out of a little nostril is just crazy! I will spare you any action shots. But YouTube it if you dare. That's actually what sold me on it.
McKenna gets a clogged nose pretty frequently because her overeating causes her to bring her milk back up often. She is NOT a fan of it, but she feels so much better once we've unclogged that little nose.

Do yourself a favor and at least check it out. I got ours at Target for $15.
