When my friend Rita recommended the Baby-Vac to me, I thought it frankly frightening. She said it was a thing you could connect to your canister vacuum to suck the snot out of your kid's nose. I imagined it leaving a big hickey, not to mention scaring the pants off the poor child.
Well, after weeks of bulb suctioning and feeling increasingly desperate, I finally decided to find out for myself whether it was a product worthy of all her raving, or if she did in fact love it only because it was invented in Hungary (her native country).
I received it yesterday. Micah and I tried it out right away. It is COOL! Micah said it tickled (as it sucked a big batch of boogers out of his face). When I tried it I thought at first it wasn't attached to the vacuum properly, because I expected much heavier suction. But the suction is so gentle! Just enough to extract the offending boogies, but not at all uncomfortable. Today when I was suctioning Joshua before bed, he was calm and almost seemed to be enjoying it.
So thanks Rita for the recommendation, it's so much more efficient and effective than that suction bulb!
Even better if there were no boogers to suck out at all...

Very cool and good to know about! Isn't it quite distracting with the loud vacuum going? Good idea testing it out on Micah:)
ReplyDeleteJoshua is still young enough that those loud noises are soothing! If your kid hates the vacuum, this product probably isn't for you. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like it and hope it will improve his sleep and duration of colds! It made such a difference for us, I can't recommend it enough. The noise is easy to get used to in my opinion especially since you know that you're preventing possible sinus infections and that alone is so comforting. I really hope it will help improve Josh's health and comfort.
