Bogeys!!!!

[Tabs]

Ok.... silly question....

How do I get the bogeys out of Morgan's nose? It's like a jungle up there!!!!

You either have to wait for them to find their own way out. Or, and this is what my sister does, stick his finger up his own nose.

If you can't reach them easily, try using a nasal aspirator. It looks something likethis. https://www.mothercare.com/gp/produ...f=sr_1_2/202-2244070-3576661?ie=UTF8&mcb=core

If you still have trouble, you can get saline drops in the pharmacy which you can use prior to the aspirator.

did you find this useful? When I used it on Lily it made her worse, seemed to make even more bogeys!

We use saline drops.

yeah, we use it regularly, but often need to use the saline drops to loosen the mucus first.

I dip an earbud in water to moisten the tip and then remove it from his nose. He quite likes it!

I do the same as Karen, but I pull off the majority of the cotton, and just use it to fish the bogey out, if it is close to the end of his nostril, I don't go digging.

likes it? hahah you're lucky!

 

[reallytinyamy]

cotton bud or rolled up tissue usually. although the other day chloe managed to be sick and push milk through her nose- that shifted loads!!!

I used to kinda massage the outside of their nostril to move it down enough to get it. If that makes sense.

Now they have big enough noses (months of poking about have worked their magic) and I can get them easy.

i tend to use a cotton bud if its easy to get to, if its miles up i just leave it to come out on its own

I use a cotton bud, but I put saline drops in first, but I think Dec has discovered that he can now get his finger up !!!!! lol

I used to use rolled up kitchen roll - it's slightly stiffer than toilet roll and gets further up!!!!!

Wait till your LO is older though - Charlie now uses his own finger, then follows me around shouting Mummy, Mummy until I get tissue to wipe the green bogey off the end of his finger!!!!
