Dentinox helps you survive the winter month with a baby

Dentinox is proud to specialise in baby health, a place it has had in the hearts and minds of mums and dads for over half a century.  And with years of experience of knowing just what babies need, the experts at Dentinox and Snufflebabe understand how tough it can be to treat baby health woes.

I was sent some Snufflebabe items to review, just in time for Sebastian’s MMR which has left him feeling under the weather.

Snufflebabe Nasal Aspirator (RRP – £8.49) has been awarded the Queen’s Award for Outstanding Innovation.  I used a nasal aspirator, affectionately known as the Snot Sucker, last winter when Sebastian had colds as he was struggling to feed because his nose was so blocked and it worked really well.

The device physically clears a baby’s blocked nose which makes breathing easier and reduces the risk of complications such as ear-ache, coughs and stomach upsets. It is so effective it is used in hospitals where there are no wall units in place.   Simply target the snot and suck.  The mucous gets pulled into the container which can then be washed up in warm soapy water. Recommended by healthcare professionals, the Snufflebabe Nasal Aspirator is available on prescription through a doctor or nurse and can be bought in Boots, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Asda and independent pharmacies and is great for children who are unable to blow their noses!

Pollen, dust and bacteria can all collect in the nose. Snufflebabe Nasal Drops (RRP: £3.05) help rinse these out and restore moisture, making baby’s nose feel more comfortable and are suitable from birth as they contain a safe and effective saline solution that clears baby’s nose naturally

Try using the Drops or Spray before the Nasal Aspirator as they help loosen dried mucus, so you can then use the Aspirator to physically clear baby’s nose.

The Dentinox Medicine Dispenser (RRP £6.99) has designed by a doctor, and is a soothing and simple way to give medicine to a child who has a dummy or a bottle. The baby can passively suck to draw medicine through the orthodontic silicone teat. It also has a unique plunger to ensure the accurate delivery of a pre-measured dose of medicine.  I did try this with Sebby but he doesn’t take a dummy or a bottle so just chewed it a bit and threw it on the floor but I could see it being really useful for a younger baby.

The final item I was sent to review was Snufflebabe Vapour Oil and an inhaler dummy.  Simply add a couple of drops of the Snufflebabe Vapour Oil into the specially designed chamber and it safely releases the decongestant vapour beneath their noses, whilst the soother helps them feel calm.

Again, Sebby doesn’t use a dummy, but I have been using the Vapour Oil dropped on an old pillow case in his bedroom to help keep his snuffly nose clear.

I’m working with BritMums on a project with Dentinox and Snufflebabe to test their products during cold season. All opinions are my own. To find out more about the products visit http://www.dentinox.co.uk and http://www.snufflebabe.co.uk
