The most common concern when using a baby nasal aspirator is how far the tip should enter the baby's nose. The correct tip is designed to collect mucus without irritating the baby's nostril, inserting only just inside the nostril opening. You don't need to insert the entire tip — just the silicone tip rests lightly against the nostril, inserting approximately 0.5-1 cm deep. Before and after each use, wash with soapy water and rinse; once a week, it can be sterilized in boiling water for 5 minutes. Replace the tip if there are cracks, stickiness, or hardening. Aspirator use lasting less than a week is generally sufficient — if there is persistent congestion, there may be underlying allergies or reflux, so consulting your pediatrician is worthwhile.
