Sterimar Nasal Spray

I was sent a nose clearing spray a while ago, at the time I thought "Oh no, won't need this until next winter, my Madam is soooo healthy!"  Yes, well.... A short while later and fresh from a fortnight's lovely holiday; Madam has summer cold!

This nasal hygiene spray is a sea water and purified water diffusion, and is medically recommended for clearing little noses from 0-3 years old.  The small (perfect pocket size really, so you can always have it to hand) 50ml bottle holds approximately 150 doses, which is more than enough for several colds!

I found it really got to work in less than a week, but getting it into Madam's nose- well, that was the fun part!  The best way to use this is to lie your baby on their side and gently tilt their head up to one side.  Then carefully put the nozzle up each nostril in turn and press down briefly.  You can then wipe away any excess solution, done!

The spray seemed to work best for Madam at night, she likes to sleep with her dummy in, so having a clear nose was quite essential for breathing purposes!  She got used to Mummy squirting something funny up her poor little nose after a few days, but she certainly never liked it.  I am definitely going to be keeping this spray around at all times though, I was very impressed with how it worked.  And Madam's grateful for being able to smell again!

Sterimar Nasal Sprays are also available for adult use, they are great for relief from hay fever and other allergies.  You can find the sprays at Boots, with a RRP of £4.07 for the baby version and a RRP of £6.75 for the 100ml isotonic.
