Good then lauryn. I coud get you a contract to suck some young children who have constantly running noses.

Sucking mucus from the nose of a child isn't exactly supposed to be a hubby.
However, offering a handkerchief to a 3-month child to blow his/her own nose is not the most brilliant thing to do.
They are babies and hence cannot blow their own nose. The action of nose blowing is not as involuntary as pissing, shitting, crying etc etc.
You'll have to have some level of control of effect such a task. Babies don't have such ability.
I would be scared stiff if my 3-month abby can blow his/her nose. That's more like an adult baby if u ask me.

Speaking of mucus, it originates from the throat, which invariably is connected to the mouth. So sucking that of your child is not like coming in contact with a toxic waste or something. Besides, there are less bacteria to be found in a baby's nose than "down there".

Word of caution though!
Don't suck too hard so as not to burst the babies ear drums. The sucking has to be extremely gentle.

U dont suck children's nose if its constantly running. U only suck it out, if its all stuffy and they cant breathe properly, and if they cant blow out the mucous outta their nose by themselves. its mostly infants(birth to 1yr of age) that have this problem. And I have to know them closely. I cant just suck out some children's noses.
Get it! So U could keep ur contract to urself!

@ Rhea

well i have 4 kids and felt the same way you do, until one night my son had a bad cold to make it worst milk was stuck in his nose ofter i put him down, he could not breath and i call an ambulance which was taking ages, as i watch him gasp for breath, i had to suck on his nose to save his life. now you think about that. ;

yea,really nasty

ladies/women have no option than to do it. I dont think i can do it anyways

You really don't need to do that. My mum never did it neither am I gon' do it. You can forcefully blow air in one of thechild's nose and the whole thing comes out from the other nose. That was basically what I did for my lil sis then.

@edgygirl, not at a very tender age

yeah, I know.

thought it was ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!


Till i had my kids.i tried the 'posh' boots suction device which was completely USELESS.
In the end it was 'suck and spit' alternating with normal saline nose drops(buy it from the pharmacy),
watching your baby struggling to breathe because of a blocked nose is not funny at all!!!!didn't need to do it after they were about 6 months.

u guys should get real and stop all this formin ,i will do anytin 4 my kid,after all i brought them into d world

Lauryn I'm with you.
Absolutely!Before i married i quarelled about it with my friend who did it but when i started having kids nobody thought me to do it.
My husband hates it though but from 18months Barney teaches them with a song that says
"Keep your sneeze to yourself."

if my child's uncomfortable. there's no question about it

Hell no, I know and am saying this cos I have a 6 year old. I wouldn't do this at all, and never did that. I also never breastfed in public, its just not me.

I have 3 kids, 2 of them under 2 years old-I do get to suck their nostrils to bring out the mucus .Its kind of a First Aid treatment and see nothing wrong in it.

Yeah! I've done that b4 & can do it again.

U know, when it's like a matter of life & death you'll do it b4 realising it. That what happened to me-& my neice.
Did that several times after and I tell u it's no big deal.

theres nothing wrong in helping a baby who cannot help him/herself. most of our parents did it for us. if there is an alternative fine, but if none then gat no choice but to blow/suck it out for the helpless baby.

come to think of it, those of u who say it is disgusting, dont u suck pussies and dicks of grownup adults? (which i find even disgusting! ) so what is disgusting abt sucking out a little baby's running nose?

I would . . .Not just for my child but for any and every child around me If s/he is in dire need of it.
Have we all not sucked much more disgusting things ?

My Dad did it to us and he is still alive today which means its not harmful,why cant i do it to my kids.
You can suck C**k and lick P**y for fun but you cant save your kid.
Na wah for una.

i have a two year old son and i have never done that to him i don't think i can try.

My lovely hubby would have to do that cause I wouldn't wanna barf in my sweet baby's nose cause I was trying to blow out mucus.

@ poster, no I cant do it so my hubby would have to.

I understand when guys back off, but I just dont get the 'formin' attitude of the gals; u r disgusting enough to want the most unimaginable things when you are pregnant (I have witnessed tuwo near a rubbish heap ), u do quite a bit of sucking when you are 'younger', and really have no reason to, but it comes to an absolutely acceptable reason to 'suck' and u go,

There's nothing wrong with sucking mucus out of your child's nose, I am proud to say that I helped my son clear his nostrils till he was 18 months old and had gotten the grasp of blowing out.

Doesnt mean I preferred it to my sepe sha!

I wonder why guys would be able to back off. Afterall, when men are 'younger' they also do some sucking too. This is not an issue of 'tude its personal choice.

what do you guys mean?
thats one quality of a good mother. However i'm not sure i can do that when i become one

@ ursie
You will have to do it

-

Thats nasty, give the child a hankerchief jeeze
I get nauseated thinking about that yuck

GIVE a 3 months old a hankerchief? Get real man!

You will have to do it as a mother, except if you hire a nosesucker

ebony4life:

except if you hire a nosesucker

lol

@topic. yeah, i will do it what's wrong with that? all i want is for my baby to breath

done it before and can do it again.

I used to say ewwwwwwwwww to this. But the first time I did it noone had to tell me to. I still do it for my 10 month old. It is kind of gross though.
Use saline drops and then a bulb syringe after it has broken down the mucus. If that does not work, LOL

[size=13pt]Those mothers that don't do it are bad in that aspect abi?
That is disgustingly disgusting. I can never think of it let alone doing it.
Next you'll lick your childs ass clean with your tongue.[/size]

Gosh. Im trying to eat lunch
