Snot Removal 101

This guide to removing the snot from your baby's nose will help you through what can feel like one of the trickiest jobs of parenthood -- in four simple steps.

Step 1

Choose the right tool.
Try a rubber suction-bulb syringe with a long, pointed tip, or use a more powerful battery-operated aspirator. Or check out the NoseFrida, a product with which you literally suck out the snot through a tube. (There's a valve so you don't get mucus in your mouth.)
