I received the Bebe Sound machine as an add-on gift from my sister-in-law at my shower. She told me if works wonders.  Basically, it is a gentle, mini electric nasal aspirator. It runs when you hold the yellow botton near the top but also plays 8 different tunes with the white button near the bottom (to drown out the motor) lasting for about 30 seconds each. You can also cover the speaker with your finger to muffle the music...or play none at all.

When Abigail was a newborn, I found other manual aspirators to be too large for her petite nostrils. There were not many times I needed one anyway...but the times I did...I resorted this this one because it has two different sized silicone tips. I will be honest...she was not a fan in the beginning.

However, she got her first runny nose this week. We made it 7 months free and clear...but this one caught up to us. Not sure if it's due to her teething...or is she just caught a bug. However, she has a whole new appreciation for this tiny machine. She actually will lean towards it so I can clear her nose when it becomes congested. I don't even use the music anymore. It's really sweet to see, she's very patient as she anticipates relief. It didn't take her long to realize it clears up her airways and has become positive experience.

I like it because it's gentle yet also quick. Another BIG bonus is it's easy to clean because it comes apart in 3 peices.

I highly recommend this for infants and babies who are too young to grasp the concept of blowing their nose...something we as adults take for granted.

Very glad this was given to me...and so is Abigail!
