I don't doubt that it works but I just can't imagine sucking on a tube to get snot out of DS's nose. You mamas &amp; daddies are brave! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grandma-just-saw-the-nose-frida-in-action-her-mind-is-officially-blown#post-462449 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 02:38:01 +0000 mrbee 462449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@leelee: My technique is pretty basic! Here's what I do, in case it helps:</p> <p>1) I suck pretty darn hard. I used to hold back (I was worried I would suck her brains out) but that hasn't happened yet so now I worry less. I start off sucking not so hard, but work up the power within 5 seconds or so.</p> <p>2) I wiggle the Nose Frida when I'm sucking... it helps a surprising amount! Bee taught me that one...</p> <p>Hope that helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grandma-just-saw-the-nose-frida-in-action-her-mind-is-officially-blown#post-462443 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 02:31:34 +0000 Boogs 462443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom totally gagged when she saw me use it, but it really did work well lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grandma-just-saw-the-nose-frida-in-action-her-mind-is-officially-blown#post-462441 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 02:29:54 +0000 Running Elley 462441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tricycle: Wow!!!
