Bennetts Saline Nose Spray With Aspirator is a non-medicated, alcohol-free kit designed to clear nasal congestion and soothe dry nasal passages in infants, babies, and toddlers. The combination of a gentle isotonic saline spray (0.72% Sodium Chloride) and a soft-tip manual aspirator makes it a popular, drug-free solution for pediatric nasal hygiene during colds, allergies, or dry weather.
How the Kit Works
-
The Saline Spray: Thins out thick, stubborn mucus and moisturizes dry, irritated nasal tissues. Because it is entirely drug-free, it will not sting or irritate sensitive nostrils and can be used as frequently as needed.
-
The Nasal Aspirator: A manual suction bulb with a flexible, soft tip that physically draws the loosened mucus out of the baby’s nose, helping them breathe, feed, and sleep more comfortably.
Step-by-Step Usage Instructions
-
Prepare the Spray: Remove the plastic cap from the bottle. If using a brand-new bottle, prime the pump by spraying it into the air a few times away from the child's face until a fine mist appears.
-
Apply the Saline: Lay or hold your baby comfortably. Gently insert the narrow tip into one nostril and give a short spray (typically 1 to 2 sprays or drops). Repeat the process in the other nostril.
-
Wait a Moment: Give the saline a minute to hydrate and break down the mucus buildup.
-
Use the Aspirator: Compress the bulb of the aspirator before placing it at the nose. Gently rest the soft tip at the entrance of the baby's nostril (never force or push it deep inside). Slowly release the bulb to create a gentle suction that draws out the mucus.
-
Clean Up: Wipe away any excess moisture from your baby's nose. Thoroughly wash the aspirator tip with warm soapy water after every single use to prevent bacterial contamination.
Crucial Safety Guidelines
-
Suction Safety: Never squeeze the bulb of the aspirator while the tip is already positioned inside or at the entrance of the baby's nostril, as this blows air forcefully into their nasal cavity. Always compress the bulb before insertion.
-
Infection Control: Keep the device dedicated to one child. Sharing the spray nozzle or aspirator among multiple people can quickly spread infections.
• • Storage: Keep the aspirator out of reach of children and store the kit below 25°C.
