Baby Merlin Magic Sleepsuit vs FridaBaby NoseFrida the Snotsucker

“First and foremost, the sleep suit in the car seat is super dangerous. Second... perception of how bundled babies are is verrrrrrrryyyyyy cultural. Is your caregiver from Latin America by chance? I'm white and grew up in New York, so when I had my first baby in Northern California, I dressed him in ways that felt appropriate to me and my genuinely lovely child care provider from Brazil was emphatic that he must be freezing. Now I live in southern California, right on the US-mexico border, and i couldn't leave the house from November to March without someone gently letting me know that my baby was underdressed. The sleep sack in the car seat is an issue, and tone may be an issue (your husband felt she was mocking you)? But how bundled a baby is would not be my point for leaving care. Just my 2c.”

“I used the bulb ones first, and IMO they barely work and more importantly I hate that I cant see the inside/turn them inside out to clean them I got the NoseFrida - and I know everyone says the filter doesn't allow anything to get to you - but both I and my husband fell HORRIBLY ill after using them on the kid. They work, but clearly that filter is only for the physical mucus and not the cooties. I am never using that again lol I got an electric one from Amazon - and it is in the top 3 things I've purchased to care for this child. The one I got was called Hihened, idk if they still have it but it was like $20. When I tell you it gets the job done SO much better and faster! a squirt of saline first, a few nose pinches, and suction away. You can see all the gunk in the clear compartment as well so I know it's not just the saline it's sucking back up the kid is 18 months now and we still use it at least once a week in the winter. 1000% recommend”
