[blparent] Stuffy Nose

[Peggy]

My daughter will use the suringe on Dylan if she's home but I don't like to 
do it, she can kinda see where the bugers are and just suck them right out. 
I use a warm washcloth, try to clean it out really good in the bath or just 
hold him down and clean with a warm washcloth.  No baby likes it and most 
likely you're going to have to hold him down.  I lay Dylan on the floor in 
front of me, but his legs between my knees, hold his other hand with my hand 
and wipe and feel with the other hand.  Yes he kicks and screams and acts 
like I'm killing him but it gets his nose clean.  I also clean it really 
good after mealtime, because he's strapped in his chair and can't leave!! 
Another thing you can buy is boogie wipes *I kid you not* and when we're 
playing or he's distracted by something I'll take a quick swipe with one of 
those as well.  They honestly don't like it, and people will think y ou're 
killing them, but I hope this has helped.

Any suggestions for unclogging my son's stuffy nose. He does not let me get 
near him with the syringe. I have sighted help but wanted to know if anyone 
had any suggestions for someone who is blind.
Thanks
