5 Products That I Can't Live Without When My Kids Get Sick

Once the saline loosens everything up, I get it all out with the NoseFrida ($16). I know that there's a major ick factor at the thought of sucking snot out of a kid's nose with your mouth, but I assure you that in the five years I've been using this, the filter has been 100 percent effective, and I've never once tasted my kids' boogers.

While an old-fashioned bulb aspirator works just as well, I prefer the NoseFrida's thicker tube. My kids hate when I try to get anything out of their noses, so I don't have to worry about accidentally sticking this too far up there when they're squirming all over the place.
