The extractor should be cleaned regularly to prevent bacterial growth. After each use, wash the parts (especially the nozzle and tubing) with warm water and mild soap. Some extractors can also be disinfected with sterilizing solution.
When selecting a mucus extractor, consider the following:
● Safety: Choose products that are certified and made of non-toxic materials.
● Ease of Cleaning: It should be easy to disassemble and clean.
● Comfort: The nozzle and tubing should be soft to avoid damaging the baby’s nostrils.
● Suction Power: The suction should be gentle, not too strong, to prevent harm to the baby’s nasal passages
