What is your policy on these?

I am not a DCP but I would never use this on a kid that was not mine. Plus they are gross to clean.

They have a filter, I would use one an infant (12m and under), but don't have a policy

I just buy bulb syringes in bulk, put the kids' names on them when I open a new one. I wash them after every use, and use a different one for each child. I just can't handle the thought of NoseFreida, even though I KNOW I'm not sucking snot into my mouth, it still turns my stomach!

I bought one but just couldn't use it. I kept gagging. In fact, I gave it to someone on here.
My policy is no way.

I use one on my own kid but i won't use them on a daycare kid

I have one you connect to a vacuum cleaner.
I kid you not.
I wouldn't use either of them on a child that isn't mine.....plus if they're that stuffed up, they should really be at home.

I don't have a written policy on the Nosefrida but since I'm gagging just reading through the replies, I would have to say no to using one.

Not ever going to happen!!
I had a parent ask if I would use theirs on their son and I think I must have looked at her like she had three heads. I would maybe use this on my own child, but not on someone else's. I agree with the previous poster, if the child is so congested that this is necessary, they need to be home.

Yup! My policy is that sick kids stay home and their parents can use that on them. I won't even use the bulbs on dck's. If their nose is that runny/stuffed that they need me sucking snot out, I'll call for pick up. I have one you connect to a vacuum cleaner.

Nope, no way, no how. I rarely used the bulbs on my own kids, much less a DCK!
DaveA 12:48 PM 02-23-2017
I had to look it up. NOPE! Not doing that one! If they are plugged to the point of needing that they don't need to be at my house.
