I think I only used the nasal aspirator two or three times on Sophia. I don’t remember ever getting snot-boobs. I think she mostly got a warm washcloth treatment for crusty snot.

I think the nasal aspirators are fine, but breastfeeding is even better. When Justin was little and had a stuffed up nose, he would still need to breastfeed. He’d be trying to nurse and get really upset because he couldn’t breathe. The more upset he got, the harder he would try to breathe. Eventually, he would just blow his nose on my boob. It was way better than the aspirator, and I tell some of my callers that too. (To those who read this… I’m a nurse, not some freaky phone gal who talks about snotty boobs for a living!)
