OK, gross out question time (at least for childless me)
What is the actual name of the squeezy thingy with a bulb on one end that you use to suck snot out of a baby's nose?
Trying to online shop for one to put in a baby care basket I'm making for a new mommy friend of mine - they don't just hand them out in hospital here like they do when a baby is born where I come from, so she doesn't have one, and I will be gosh-darned if I'm hitting Target on my first lunch hour in months where I have no errands and the new Jonathan Kellerman to read - much rather order the stuff online and assemble when it arrives than go to Target...

That would be a nasal aspirator.
Fancy name for a rubber bulb, eh?

me too, however "snot sucker" did not get the desired results in my online shopping search. Intersting results, but not the desired results.
Thanks ladies! |

LOL, nasal aspirator it is.
At our house, they always got called "the brain sucker" especially the really big ones that they sent home from the hospital.

My kids had big noses when they were babies. We used a turkey baster.
