Baby nasal aspirator manual?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Manual nasal aspirators for babies consist of a mouthpiece with sponge filter at the end, tube and nasal tip. The parent sucks with the mouth, mucus stays in the filter. The two most common types: clear, washable hard plastic models (more hygienic) and soft silicone-tipped ones (more comfortable for baby). Manual aspirators allow the parent to control suction force compared to electric ones — this is an advantage in very small babies as the risk of excessive vacuum is lower. However, all parts must be washed with hot soapy water and air-dried after each use; the same filter should not be used long-term. General pediatric opinion is that if congestion causes discomfort (affects feeding or sleep), use 2-3 times daily, before meals.
