Dangers of Sucking Baby's Mucus with Mouth, Can Actually Transmit Infection

Dream - A baby who has a cold will surely make parents worried. The little one has difficulty breathing, becomes fussy, and cannot sleep soundly. This is because there is so much fluid in their nasal cavity and it cannot be expelled.

Baby does not have the ability to remove mucus on their own when they have a cold. Seeing this, parents often take quick steps by sucking the baby's mucus using their mouth.

"Previously, sucking a baby's mucus using the mouth was often done by parents because they couldn't bear to see the baby struggling to breathe. In fact, this can have negative effects on health, both for the person sucking the mucus and the baby."

"Using the mouth to suck the baby's mucus can be risky and harmful to the baby's health, as it can transmit infections from the adult's mouth to the baby. In addition, the pressure generated by the adult's mouth can damage the baby's still vulnerable respiratory tract," said Dr. Gia Pratama, quoted from KlikDokter.com."

Use Sterilized Tools

"If indeed there is a lot of fluid or mucus in the baby's nose, it is advisable to use a freely available suction device. Special devices like the nose aspirator (suction bulb) are specifically designed to suck out baby's mucus."

"Nose aspirator usually consists of a small tube with a flexible and soft tip that is inserted into the baby's nostril, then air is sucked from the tube to extract mucus or snot from the baby's nose," said Dr. Gia."

To use it, make sure your hands and the tool are clean and sterile. Here are the steps: - Wash your hands with running water until clean and clean the tool - Position the baby's head slightly lower than their chest - Squeeze the tool and place it in front of the baby's face - Slowly insert the tip of the tool into one of the baby's nostrils and reduce pressure on the squeeze to suck the mucus into the tool.

- When the mucus has been sucked out, remove the device from the baby's nose. - Prepare a tissue for the mucus that will be expelled. - To make the mucus come out of the device, squeeze the device again. - Clean the device with water and repeat on the other nostril. Sucking baby's snot with a safe device can be done. Make sure to start with the lowest suction level to avoid irritation or injuring the delicate skin inside the baby's nose. Source: KlikDokter.com
