Newborns & Infants
• Kids Mist is safe and effective for newborns and infants, and is a better option rather than aspirating mucus from the baby’s nose using a bulb syringe, as bulb syringes are easily contaminated by bacteria and fungus and difficult to clean
• Bulb syringe use in infants can damage the sensitive tissue inside the nose, leading to more congestion and blockage of the mucus pathways, resulting in thicker mucus and increased difficulty breathing through the nose.
• Most parents feel the need to remove thick mucus from their baby’s nose, but when doing so with a bulb syringe, caregivers may create problems with recontamination and damage to the mucosal lining of the nose
• Damage to the mucosal lining will increase nasal congestion leading to blockage of the nasal mucus pathways, resulting in thick and/or hard dried mucus trapped in the nose
• When the Kids Mist natural solution is sprayed in the nose, it works to break up thick mucus and allows the mucus to flow to the back of the nose to be swallowed, allowing parents to feel comfortable not using a bulb syringe
• One spray in each nostril is recommended with every diaper change to keep nasal mucus thin and flowing naturally
• Store your Kids Mist at the diaper changing table to remind yourself to use it
• Kids Mist is portable and easy to carry in a diaper bag

Toddlers & Preschoolers
• It is best to use your free hand to steady the child’s head when spraying the nose
• If the child is unable to blow the nose, the nasal saline may be sniffed back and swallowed – remember, mucus was designed by nature to be swallowed
• If the child is able to blow the nose, try multiple sprays in each nostril, followed by blowing the nose and repeat these steps until the nose is clear
