Rating of the best aspirators (nozzles) for newborns in 2024

Young parents quite often face the problem of nasal congestion in their babies. The infant becomes difficult to breathe during breastfeeding and also experiences restless and restless sleep. A runny nose with colds causes a lot of trouble, in particular, you need to cleanse the baby's nose of mucous secretions painlessly and without harming the mucous membrane. To help this, aspirators were invented, also called nozzles.

There are many types of aspirators, but in order to use these devices less often, you need to try to prevent the occurrence of a runny nose, for this they moisten the room with the help of special electronic humidifiers, or, as in the old-fashioned way, hang wet towels or put containers with water, and in winter, put them closer to heat sources. Another way to reduce the frequency of a baby's runny nose is to periodically rinse the nose with saline solutions. But if its appearance still could not be avoided, then you need to purchase an aspirator. We will find out what types they are and how to make the right choice, and also find out what are the best aspirators for babies in 2024 according to consumers.

Types of aspirators

Very young children cannot independently blow mucus from the nose, so it is necessary to use additional devices - aspirators. According to their action, they can be divided into several groups: vacuum, electrical, mechanical, and as a separate type - syringe.

Vacuum

The main difference between the vacuum version and all other types is the mandatory use of a vacuum cleaner. One side of such a nozzle suction is inserted into the baby's spout, and the other is connected to the vacuum cleaner. In most cases, the design of vacuum models is made in such a way as to lower the pressure, due to which there is an automatic adjustment of the mucus suction power.

Electric

An electric aspirator has a number of advantages over a vacuum one in terms of autonomy. For example, in the absence of light, in the country, in nature, or somewhere else far from civilization, using a vacuum cleaner will be extremely difficult. In turn, electric models powered by batteries may also fail with prolonged use, but still, their autonomy is higher than that of vacuum ones.

Mechanical

Mechanical nozzle pumps are considered leaders in terms of autonomy, but they do not always lead in efficiency. The principle of their operation is to introduce one tip into the baby's nostril, and from the other side they pull mucus out of the nose with the mouth.

Syringe

The syringe is a budget option for aspirators. Mostly not high cost, it is also an indicator of weak efficiency.The market provides a huge assortment of syringes (pears) and this rating may help you make the right choice.
