[blparent] cleaning a baby's nose

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Hi.  First, remember that babies aren't as fragile as we might think they 
are.  You probably won't hurt her if one of you holds her still while the 
other one gets the bulb syringe into her nose.  Try putting a dab of 
Vaseline on the end of the syringe so it goes into the nostril more easily. 
You can also dampen a tissue with saline solution and wipe around the 
nostrils so that a bit of it goes in.  If you do that before using the 
syringe, it might get the mucus out with less squeezes.
