A newborn that has the misfortune to come in the wrong season to the world, gets almost certainly in the first months of life cold. Unfortunately baby can not breathe through your mouth. Often it must also drink. Then comes the only not legal. The more scarce the air. To help the desperately snapping for breath child, you have to be active. Recommend midwives, the young child to drip milk in the nose. The prerequisite is that the woman can cross out milk. This is not any-thing fraus. Whether that will really help, we did not try. Because newborns and babies not yet "schnäuzen" can, you have to help them and suck the mucus and secretions in the nose. The aspirator offered in drugstores, consisting of a small Gummbiblase and operate according to the (inverted) bellows principle, one can unfortunately vergesssen. They range not deep enough and the suction power can not dispense too careful. We have had experience with the Schleimabsauggerät VERY GOOD. The Schleimabsauggerät is created for this task as well. It belongs in every delivery room (for aspirating amniotic fluid) - but also in every household in the smallest children at home. The aspirator is easy to use. The small collection vessel leading out two soft and approximately the same length hoses. One tube is slightly thicker and has plastic plugs that can be comfortably hold between the teeth at the end of a small (and hollow inside). Now is sucked pretty hard on the little bud. The child will be placed on their backs. The other tube will be straight down vertically downwards slowly and quite easily introduced rotation (not tilted forward or back) into both nostrils. By no means the hose must be tilted forward or back. Wg. The nasal septum should not be tilted to the left or right. It is advisable also to suck WHEN REMOVING. I recommend before applying a medical saline solution (eg, Salin of Olynthus - no way a "nasal spray" with active ingredient) instill or blow with an atomizer in the nose. This causes the secretion "softened". Urgent purchase recommendation. 5 Stars!
