Nasal irrigator - Duo of syringes and tips - Institut Maïa
Regular price $11.99Give your baby the respiratory comfort they need with this set of two nasal syringes, specially designed for toddlers under two years old. Each syringe features a soft and flexible silicone tip, ideal for gently cleaning your child's delicate nostrils without causing discomfort.
A congested nose can disrupt your baby's sleep, feeding, and general well-being. Since toddlers cannot effectively blow their noses, they rely on you to help them breathe more easily. Our nasal syringe is an essential tool for maintaining optimal nasal hygiene.
Used with a saline solution, it removes secretions and particles, thereby reducing congestion, moisturizing nasal passages, and preventing nosebleeds. Make breathing easier for your baby and ensure peaceful nights with this essential for toddler respiratory health.
It also allows for:
-
Better feeding and sleep;
-
A reduction in the frequency or duration of colds;
-
A reduction in ear infections, sinusitis, and coughing;
-
A reduction in antibiotic use;
-
Better asthma control in children who suffer from it;
-
A reduction in absenteeism for children at daycare and school, as well as for parents at work.
Start your child's nasal hygiene from birth.
Nasal hygiene should be done with a saline solution. This can be prepared at home or purchased at a pharmacy or supermarket. You will find a homemade recipe on the back of the packaging.
The syringe irrigation technique is recommended for children under 2 years old. For older children, the irrigation technique with a bottle or spray is recommended.
Here are the suggested saline solution quantities based on your child's age. If your doctor has mentioned a different quantity, follow their advice.
Premature: 1 ml per nostril
Under 2 years: 1 to 3 ml per nostril
Minimum recommended frequency for your child:
October to May: 1 to 2 times a day
Cold or congestion: 3 to 6 times a day
Lying position technique - for children under 6 months
1. Always wash your hands BEFORE and AFTER performing your child's nasal hygiene.
2. Remove abundant secretions using a nasal aspirator if needed.
3. Fill a syringe with body temperature saline solution (see table above for quantity).
4. Lay your child on their side or back, swaddle them if necessary, and place a washcloth under their nose. Irrigate the upper nostril when positioned on their side by gently emptying the syringe's contents, about 1 mL/second. Secretions can come out of both nostrils, but also from the mouth or be swallowed. It is not necessary for the water to come out of the other nostril.
5. Turn your child to the other side or keep them on their back, and repeat the same technique for the other nostril.
6. If your child is unable to blow their nose, wipe their nose with a tissue or use a nasal aspirator. If needed, repeat steps 2 to 5 if there are still secretions.
Sitting position technique for children over 6 months
One-person technique
-
Your child should be sitting on your lap, head straight (not tilted backward or forward). To do this, it may be easier to swaddle your child in a large towel. You can also place a towel over them to prevent them from getting wet.
-
With one hand, hold their jaw to stabilize them and press your cheek against theirs so they cannot move during the exercise.
-
With the other hand, hold the syringe. Insert the tip into one nostril. Lean slightly forward.
-
Empty the contents of the syringe quickly into the nostril. Secretions can come out of both nostrils, but also from the mouth.
-
Use the same technique for the other nostril.
-
If your child is unable to blow their nose, wipe their nose with a tissue. If needed, repeat steps 2, 3, and 4. Your child should have a clean nose with good airflow.
Two-person technique
-
Your child should be sitting on the lap of the person helping you, head straight (not tilted backward or forward), with their back firmly against the person's stomach. This person can hold your child's legs between their legs. One hand is used to restrain the child's arms. The other hand rests on their forehead to prevent their head from moving.
-
With one hand, place a washcloth under your child's nose. With the other hand, hold the syringe. Insert the tip into one nostril. Ask the person helping you to lean slightly forward.
-
Empty the contents of the syringe into the nostril. Secretions can come out of both nostrils, but also from the mouth.
-
Use the same technique for the other nostril.
-
If your child is unable to blow their nose, wipe their nose with a tissue. If needed, repeat steps 2 and 3. Your child should have a clean nose with good airflow.
The nasal irrigator tip is made of silicone, providing maximum comfort for your little one's nose.
Includes 2 syringes, 10 ml each. BPA-free.
