For those of you that read here fairly often, you’re starting to see a pattern, if I find something that I had to look up, or ask someone about, or I find something novel pertaining to what I’ve had to do with my baby, I write about it and tag it ‘baby learnin’ –hopefully others can learn from my mistakes, effort, and determination.
So what DO you do with that nose sucky thingy anyway? I had to ask my husband. I personally would have done it the wrong way the first time and shot air up her nose. Because with zero sleep and not being mechanically inclined, let’s just say when this all started, I always asked before doing something new, because 2 heads are better than one.
A great resource I found when I was pregnant was babycenter.com, they sent emails counting up the weeks to the birth of the baby, and I sent these along to Keeley’s grandmothers, because being 4 hours away makes it difficult to be ‘in the know’ about a person’s doctors appointments, etc. Anyway, this is what you do with the nose sucky thing, and how you clean it, and for the love of God! don’t wait until it starts to smell to clean it.
