    Get a “Nose Frieda.” Or something like that; my kids are in upper elementary, I don’t remember what it’s called. It looks horrific but when your kid is congested, it is a lifesaver. I think the same company makes something for gas, and I used a crazy amount of them on my second kid before figuring out that she was allergic to dairy at about 3 months.

      Baby Frida is the brand the product is just called a nose sucker. We also had several boxes of "Windy"s (the fart straw). Putting those up my son’s butt was an ordeal but nothing helped him sleep like a good fart

        Ah yes thanks! For sure, using these products is not “fun” but honestly, parenting strengthens your stomach and your resolve in lots of ways!
