NoseFrida Saves the Night!

A couple of nights ago my nine-month old grandson spent the night. Normally he sleeps through the night, but he is having some problems with allergies, and apparently our kitty cats don't help matters. (That's another story...know anybody who wants a sweet cat or two?)

Sweet, peaceful sleep at last!
Thank you NoseFrida!!

He woke up once around 11:30, then again at 1:00. When he woke up the second time, he didn't want a bottle, he just wanted to be held. So I brought him in to our bed where his grandpa and I snuggled him. He fell asleep on my chest, but when I tried to put him back in his bed, he woke right back up. So we decided the only way we were going to get any sleep was to bring him in with us. (I certainly understand why we have our babies when we're younger - at 50+ I don't have nearly the stamina I did at 30!)

He sounded like a lawnmower on a summer Saturday morning.

When her bulb syringe broke open,
Mitzi was appalled!

He fell asleep again on my chest, but he was so congested that he sounded sort of like a lawnmower on a summer Saturday morning - no way you can sleep through that! So I jumped up and fished the NoseFrida out of his diaper bag.

A couple of sucks on the snot sucker, and we had a different baby! He fell into a quiet sleep and did well until about six in the morning! I honestly don't know what we would have done if we hadn't had the NoseFrida. It made the difference between sleep and no sleep in our household that night.

After seeing this picture of a bulb syringe posted by Mitzi Johnson, I was so thankful we had a safer way to clear out N's little nose. Mitzi was about to use this syringe on her son when it broke in two. She says, "I nearly had a heart attack! I'm thankful that it broke! I immediately threw it in the trash after I snapped the photo."

Baby M likes to do it herself!

The wonderful thing about being a grandparent is that you get to love your grandkids, snuggle them, spoil them a little and send them back to mommy.  But you better believe that I will be absolutely certain that the next time N spends the night here, I'll have a NoseFrida handy.

Recently my friend Amanda sent me a picture of her little girl using the NoseFrida. I don't think I've ever seen a child try to suction her own nose with a bulb syringe, but baby M knows that the NoseFrida will make her feel all better!
