The Electric Nasal Aspirator — Rechargeable, 3 Nozzles

A rechargeable nasal aspirator for the weeks when your baby is blocked, miserable and too young to blow their own nose. Gentle, steady suction clears mucus so feeding and sleeping get easier — which is really what you are buying.

Three silicone nozzle sizes come in the box, so you can start with the smallest and move up as your baby grows. Everything that touches the nose is soft silicone, and the parts that catch mucus come apart for rinsing.

Why parents keep it in the drawer

• One hand, no bulb. Push a button rather than squeezing a bulb while holding a squirming baby.
• Three nozzles. Sized so you are not forcing an adult-sized tip into a newborn nose.
• Rechargeable. 400mAh battery, USB charging — no batteries to find at 2am.
• Rinses out. The collection parts detach so nothing sits in there between colds.

The details

• ABS body with silicone nozzles
• 3.7V, 400mAh rechargeable battery, USB charged
• Approx. 202 × 67 × 40mm
• In the box: aspirator, three nozzles, charging cable, instructions
• Rinse nozzles and collection cup in warm soapy water after each use and dry fully. Do not submerge the motor unit.

Using it safely

Insert the nozzle only at the entrance of the nostril — never deep into the nose. Use it a few times a day at most; over-suctioning irritates and swells the nasal lining, which makes congestion worse rather than better. Saline drops a minute beforehand loosen mucus and make the whole thing gentler.

This is a comfort device, not a medical treatment. Speak to your doctor or health visitor if your baby is under three months and congested, is struggling to breathe or feed, has a fever, or if congestion lasts more than a few days.
