Features of use in infancy
From the moment of birth it is possible to use the Baby-Vac suction pump. Instructions for use contain detailed information on how to use it. However, infants react quite sharply to extraneous noise sources, so care must be taken during the procedure. In infancy, colds rarely occur in infants, but neonatal rhinitis is a common occurrence.

This is especially true of procedures and other therapeutic actions. Many babies can cry and resist when trying to insert an aspirator into their nose, but the manufacturer recalls that the Baby-Wak (nasal aspirator) allows the mucus suction procedure to be completely painless and safe. The child is usually afraid of the unknown, and in order not to scare the baby and inspire confidence in the device, it is necessary to introduce him to the upcoming procedure in an exciting game.
Tips from the manufacturer
Before using Baby-Wak for the first time, you need to familiarize your child with it, you can let it examine the product, show how it works, and let it touch the cones and tubes. You can ask your baby to help in assembling the device. However, it must be remembered that the aspirator is not a toy, so leaving the child unattended is not recommended.
Next, turn on the vacuum cleaner. In this case, the baby should be familiar with the noisy device and understand that there will be no harm from it. You can allow the child to turn the unit on and off independently. This allows you to feel involved in the manipulation and feel special significance in your own treatment.
Toddlers are often distrustful of unfamiliar appliances. It is necessary to dispel this distrust, so you can clean the nose with your child’s favorite toys and let your son or daughter do it yourself. During the manipulations, it is worth explaining that your favorite toy is sick, and after the procedure it will become much easier for her. There are children who need to show how the aspirator works using a practical example. In this case, on the basis of soap foam, it is possible to demonstrate how the liquid will enter the flask. The manufacturer also advises the first time to use the device when the baby is healthy and there is no urgent need to remove all the mucus from the nose.
If the procedure was successful, it is important to praise the child. The manufacturer took care of this. On the official website you can download, print and fill out a special certificate and issue it to the “Brave Patient and best friend of BabyVashki” himself.
