She far prefers it to actually blowing her nose. We limit it to the times where she is really congested so it doesn't irritate her nose but it is a nice trick to have when she is miserable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-the-snot-sucker#post-1179115 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 12:38:52 +0000 plantains 1179115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 16 months and we still use it. She fights, but feels so great after:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-the-snot-sucker#post-1178511 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:10:24 +0000 Bookish 1178511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Actually I just stopped using it this weekend because my Dr said it can make the inflammation worse! She told me to only use it if she's having difficulty breathing (duh), but using it to get out the occasional booger is counterproductive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-the-snot-sucker#post-1178500 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:06:10 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1178500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: my DD loves it too! Tilts her head back and everything.</p> <p>We still use it occasionally if she had a stuffy nose. She's 9.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-the-snot-sucker#post-1178437 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 09:41:52 +0000 Alivoo01 1178437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: That's awesome! haha!</p> <p>DS is almsot 4 months and always had HUGE super thick boogers every day. Not sure I can stop using it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-the-snot-sucker#post-1178436 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 09:41:07 +0000 chopsuey 1178436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can't remember the last time I used it, but it was when dd was congested.. She was over 2 years old though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-the-snot-sucker#post-1178432 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 09:39:24 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1178432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used it all weekend :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-the-snot-sucker#post-1178428 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 09:38:26 +0000 jh524 1178428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if I ever will, my 16 week old son loves it!!

It had a good run between 9 and 15 months though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-the-snot-sucker#post-1178376 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 09:18:36 +0000 mrsjyw 1178376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>used it last winter when DS was nb - four/five months? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-the-snot-sucker#post-1178374 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 09:18:14 +0000 sorrycharlie 1178374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we stopped a long time ago - maybe around 3-4 months? I still had it from the hospital and my friend convinced me to cut it open (when that thing was going around with the photos of all the mold within the bulb syringes) and mine was 100% clean, looked straight out of a package! I was kind of annoyed. </p> <p>We had another bulb syringe that came with a Little Remedies kit, but it really stinks..doesn't suck anything. i tried to use it once when LO was sick in Sept but it didn't do anything, really. aside from piss her off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-the-snot-sucker#post-1178363 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 09:15:03 +0000 Mrsbells 1178363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still use it LO is 18 months.
