If you have a baby, I would HIGHLY recommend adding a NoseFrida Nasal Aspirator to your stash of baby necessities. It seriously sounds like the grossest thing ever - to be sucking the snot out of your baby's nose with your mouth, but this thing works!! And there are disposable filters in place that prevents snot and bacteria from getting INTO your mouth.
This cold season, my poor little newborn caught 2 colds - one of them being RSV. It sucked. He was congested, he was coughing, and we were doing breathing treatments. But one thing he did not have was a stuffy nose! He actually enjoyed getting the snot sucked out. He felt immediately better! Babies can't blow their nose and don't know how to suck it down either so it's up to us to get it out. The blue bulb syringe really doesn't work and it gets so gross inside. I've even heard of some parents saying that mold grew in them because they couldn't dry it out.
With the NoseFrida, you can see exactly how much gunk you got out of your baby's nose and then to clean it, you just detach the tube, throw out the filter, and clean.
If you have one, how did you like it?
