Tried and trusted by doctors and midwives, this aspirator from BENNY is a must have when it comes to dealing with babies with blocked noses. It’s been a firm favourite with parents for over 50 years, and is designed to be used with a household vacuum cleaner to provide a strong and consistent level of suction. 

Using it with a vacuum cleaner replicates the suction of a hospital aspirator, so you’ll be sure to clear any congestion with minimum fuss. Regularly referred to as a 'lifesaver' and even a 'godsend', we think this is a truly fantastic product! 

This aspirator has 3 easily adjustable suction levels and differently shaped nozzles so that you can find the best fit for your baby’s nose. The nozzles and the chamber are really easy to remove to keep it clean, so you can always be sure it’s hygienic and mould free. 

This model has a light and music function to help distract your baby while you’re clearing their nose. We love this feature as it really helps to divert baby’s attention from what can be an unpleasant process. Just avoid using it at night! 

There are 3 different nozzle sizes and shapes supplied with this aspirator, meaning that you’ll be sure to find the perfect one for your little one’s nose. Plus, it folds away neatly into a compact storage case, so that you’ll always have everything ready to go should you need to take it out and about.

Best of all, the internal chamber of the device is designed to eliminate any risk of transfer of germs, so that the risk of you catching your baby’s cold or virus is greatly reduced.

This aspirator from Nosefrida promises to ease you baby’s nasal congestion without irritating the sensitive mucus membrane inside their nose. Designed by ear, nose, and throat doctors in Sweden, it's made using BPA free materials and is totally safe even after repeated use.

This aspirator is really easy to use, and we love its simple no nonsense design. Some felt that the nozzles were on the large size for their newborn’s nose, but when used it didn’t seem to cause an issue. 

This award winning aspirator promises to provide instant relief for your baby from nasal congestion. This model also features an integrated filter so that you never get ‘suck back’, and the nozzle is suitable for use on newborn babies and up.

Snufflebabe is a well known childcare brand, especially when it comes to dealing with congestion so this is a safe bet if you’re unsure as to what to buy. Overall, it's a very good option if you want a no frills model that works.

Chicco is a well known and respected child care brand. Their aspirator features specially designed nozzles to stop the head becoming blocked with mucus. The nozzles themselves are soft, and the handy storage pouch included helps keep all the pieces together and clean when not in use.

Just note that the filter has tendency of moving, meaning that the mucus can travel into areas of the aspirator that it isn’t meant to. If this happens, it can make it quite difficult to clean and less hygienic than it would otherwise be.

A soft silicone material makes up the bulb of this manual aspirator. It's BPA and Phthalate free, meaning that it's totally safe for use on your baby. The device comes apart easily for cleaning, and is made to remain totally mould free.

One thing to bear in mind, is that the nozzles should be sterilised between uses. While it allegedly comes apart easily for cleaning, some users found that this wasn't the case, resulting in it being difficult to keep clean and sanitary. 

Babyklein have designed this aspirator with cleanliness and hygiene in mind. Made without the need for replacing spouts and filters after each use, the patented structure of the aspirator means that the removed mucus is captured in the collection chamber, with no risk of it making it's way into your mouth! 

While it doesn’t use filters, it does require you to place a small piece of cotton or gauze to prevent any mucus travelling up the spout. Disappointingly, this is something that the manufacturers don’t mention prior to purchase. 

This aspirator from well known electronics brand Braun has two gentle suction settings as well as two different sized suction tips to clear your baby’s congestion with minimum fuss. This model also has the added benefit of the removable parts being dishwasher safe, for more hygienic cleaning.

Once again, a few users have found that the suction levels were ineffective at removing more stubborn mucus and had to resort to other methods of removal. Some also found that the nozzles were not a suitable size for their baby’s nose. 

This aspirator has a gentle suction with three different modes. It's easy to use one handed, using its one touch operation system. With a quiet operation, it can be used for clearing congestion at night, and the different sized and shaped silicone tips will be sure to make the process quick and effective.

While it's more that suitable for clearing mild congestion, it won't be strong enough for thick, impacted mucus. It’s also worth noting that it's louder than you would expect a 'quiet' model to be. So if your baby is easily disturbed, it may wake them.
