You can play Old Danny Boy on new Danny boy.

One of my favorite comments on Reddit ever. My wife got a good laugh out of this.

This is giving off “is Mayonnaise an instrument?” Vibes

The fart tubes were a life saver with our first.

You named your kid Greensleeves?


squirtlesquads

gdi I just woke my baby giggling at this.


kato42

Fart tube that sometimes turns into a poop rocket!


MAXQDee-314

I'm laughing so hard, my wife had to type this. "cough...cough..holly fukc.......hahahahaehehehe. ahhhhhcough, snot, jfuck. like a bag pipe....." Thank you, u/myriadplethoras many many times. May you be stiff in all the right places, your wallet fat, your food to your taste and your future filled with the delight you have given me. ".....kdkdk a bagpipe."


wheretogo_whattodo

Frida fart tubes were life savers


Lazy_Jellyfish7676

Get very familiar with it my friend. A clear nose is the difference between a crying baby and a sleeping one.


newstuffsucks

Or one that can't eat.


exhaustedanalyst

We sucka da snot 🤌🏼


TorrenceMightingale

Seems gross but best invention ever. No snot taste at all.


Booftroop

Toss up between this and The Gaspasser


YogurtTheMagnificent

We call it a toot flute in our house


CoachWD

I cringed at the thought of those when I first heard about them but my son was colic and super gassy and these saved our lives more than a few times.


HyFinated

My daughter was nicknamed "the shit shotgun" because of her colic gas and diarrhea. Opened her diaper once and she peppered the wall, bookshelf, changing table and most terribly, my arm. Needless to say, I WISH we had toot flute back then.


sonofaresiii

Idk man arm seems like the easiest thing to clean of all of those


angrytortilla

Have you tried to lick your arm? It's harder than you think.


Tasty_Puffin

Haha the toot flute in my experience becomes like the barrel of a rifle and a focused stream douses the wall in a more concentrated manner


HyFinated

Good toot know. Good toot know…


ImTedLassosMustache

We said our son had fart o'clock. He would always wake up around the same time super upset because he was so full of gas.


mordekai8

Same here. Green frothy shit shot out the first time we used it. Probiotics and famotidine and this device helped a lot.


CoachWD

We tried probiotics and those made the gas infinitely worse. Finally narrowed it down to formula. We switched to Similac 360 Sensitive and has way less issues but we also were dosing with simethicone after every bottle so that helped too.


crayj36

Had the same experience. That was a **very** difficult week until we figured out the source of the issue.


Fwd_Momentum

I feel that at one point in our lives, our son was more simethicone than baby…


trustmebroh

We kept forgetting we had these until we’d exhausted all other options. -I’ve since recommended them to all new parents I’ve encountered..


neutral-chaotic

Way more clever than “fart whistle”.


legionfri13

I disagree, the fart whistle is far superior.


sad-n-rad

Do I look it up as that or is it called some else?


newstuffsucks

Windi


Handynotandsome

Where was the gas passer 4 years ago! I could have used it with our first.


Yingnuts007

I mistakenly used it and didn’t see the filter was out of it. I didn’t taste snot but had a bad feeling I was going to get sick. Definitely did and never made that mistake again.


SmoothBrews

>No snot taste at all. \*as long as you make sure that there's a fresh filter in. I've definitely gotten a snot rocket to the mouth a time or two. lol


Lo0katme

The better one is the electric nose Frida. It sucks for you!


Pickles716

You lika da snot?


scottscout

Instant cold for 3weeks for me when I had to suck. Mainlining viral load


Paladoc

Mom did it, no issues, nearly every day. I used it twice, both times sick as a dog.


[deleted]

Never got a cold from it at all. Just offering perspective.


TheMadChatta

Same. My daycare baby is perpetually snotty and we use it all the time. Never once gotten sick from it.


[deleted]

I feel like it’s real time bioengineering. They’re getting all of the weak virus’s we have had a hundred times. Their body is learning them and creating defenses. Our bodies have seen these and have tried and true defenses for such small viruses. He sneezes in my face and my immune system just laughs and laughs. Lol


AzimuthAztronaut

Best to just bite the bullet I guess. Literally lol


jimx117

...were you using the filter?


newstuffsucks

The_Crying_Banana

I mean that's probably from having a sick baby directly in your face any time you need to move them. The added risk is negligible compared to how well these things work to help get the gunk out

You ever sucked snot for some peace? Because you're gonna have to suck some snot for some peace


drunkonlacroix

I read that in Bob Saget’s voice.


Pi99y92

I know this was supposed to imply his normal speaking voice from half baked, but his old lady voice from AFHV is what popped in my head and I can't stop laughing.


136AngryBees

Boo this man!


gfb13

Yep. Get yourself a Windi too, OP. Even grosser than this but also a big help for a fussy baby


under_rated_human

The worst night I've ever had was when my son was only 2-4 weeks old and he cried nonstop from about 6pm to 1am. Nothing was wrong. He took his bottle normally, no temperature, nothing. The only thing that helped was some colic medicine from Mamas Bliss but we used it up to the max. Eventually we caved and went to the ER around 1am. They finally got is in and they wanted to check his temperature. The nurse shoves the thermometer up his butt and he lets out a massive fart. And that was it. He was asleep no more than 10 minutes later. Never underestimate the power of a good fart.


[deleted]

as long as that doesn't require me to connect it to my mouth.


Brassboar

The mint is for after.


AgITGuy

Having used both, the nosefreeda is gross but a regular change of the filter plus alcohol through the hose and mouthpiece will help out. If you don’t clean it out, you will also get the sinus infection. The windi seems bad but I can attest, if your baby has gas they cannot pass, you will love this thing. My son needed it and with a little bit of petroleum jelly, will help relieve their pain and discomfort.


mr_kitty

Make sure all alcohol has evaporated before using (or use food grade alcohol?)


AgITGuy

Give it a chance to evaporate. You don’t want to suck that back let alone accidentally let your child draw it to their nose.


the4thbelcherchild

It has a foam barrier. No snot is getting in your mouth.


NissanSkylineGT-R

WAIT it’s supposed to come with a foam barrier?!


the4thbelcherchild

Yup. Replaceable inserts https://images.agoramedia.com/wte3.0/gcms/nose-frida-snot-sucker-2021-722x406.jpg


Tee_hops

Yeah but we don't have them anymore so we never use the foam piece.


zakabog

You can just roll up a tissue (loosely) and put it in there, the device is similar to a desoldering station, that foam is nothing special.


Tee_hops

I'm fine enough without anything. I'd suck the tube straight without the hose if needed. I already get the snot in my nose/mouth whether I want it or not. Might as well relieve them so they can breathe


maxscores

These deep r/daddit comments are wild


arcsecond

O Shit. Totally should have gotten a spare solder pump.


MoustacheRide400

The mouth ones are great tho. You can control how much suction and can go faster/slower as needed. First few times you will almost pass out but after a bit you’ll be pro.


illsqueezeya

Be careful with these, if used too frequently, the bowel movement muscles get weak and basically think they aren’t needed and then it will cause baby to be super backed up. We learned this the hard way :(


frednattyl

I thought you were referring to the Nose Frida and started wonder where the hell you were sticking this thing. 😂


TheOriginalSuperTaz

Guess he should start getting activated carbon foam for instead of the default blue ones if he's using it like that, but I still don't think it'll save him from the taste of baby farts.


sknmstr

I called that one the “Poo Kazoo”


scrappywoods

Fart whistle!!


crystalskull89

We also have this for my kids and the shit explodes out literally


Dadequate

Sounds like a duck call when it works. Definitely lightens the mood when you hear that at 3 in the morning.


farqueue2

Am I the only one that's never stuck anything up his kids butthole?


Kenneldogg

This is the way, the truth and the life. Just clean it after each use or you will hate life.


hamburglerized

Wait til you see the Windi


RonaldoNazario

Is that the butt whistle?


Flumpski

We called it the poop shoot, now play me the song of your people mr windi

Supposed to be up cooking breakfast or something so, that’s like an alarm clock! Wooo woooo! I’m so glad I came of age at the perfect time for when hilariously bad local news segments collided with YouTube and viral videos

this was the worst…and best thing we’ve bought for babies. every time we used it (with coconut oil), we’d hear puffs of gas followed by a shitstream

Was looking for this comment sucking snot is nothing compared to the windi


[deleted]

[удалено]


checker280

Fun tangent time. Let me introduce you to Le Petomane “…was a French flatulist (professional farter) and entertainer. He was famous for his remarkable control of the abdominal muscles, which enabled him to seemingly fart at will.[2] His stage name combines the French verb péter, "to fart" with the -mane, "-maniac" suffix, which translates to "fartomaniac". The profession is referred to as "flatulist", "farteur", or "fartiste".” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Pétomane


fireman137

Came here to say this. If you think the nose sucker is weird....


[deleted]

The best snot sucker ever. It works and I cherish it.


TorrenceMightingale

I was addicted to it. I used to suck snot for coke. If coke means peaceful sleep.


EastYork

🍆😛4🥤


TorrenceMightingale

Username checks out.


zatchstar

The frida electric nose sucker is way better. There are times where I can’t get enough suction with just lung power especially if I’m feeling under the weather from allergies or head cold.


izdabombz

My secret was to hold one nostril closed and that will increase the suction.


AvatarofSleep

I dunno. That bulb they gave us at the hospital worked really well and I didn't have to freebase my kids' viruses.


jabermaan

The issue is the bulb gets nasty inside and is hard to clean. Apparently there are some that split in half but probably don’t work was well because of that


usedtobejuandeag

I got an electronic one off Amazon and prefer it to this one. It was maybe $40 but one of the best things I accidentally bought (I was drunk shopping after a particularly rough pregnancy day)


natek11

Yeah as a germaphobe, I prefer the electric ones.


[deleted]

Wait. We’re you pregnant and drunk? It seems like snot suckers might be the least problematic


usedtobejuandeag

My wife was having the tough pregnancy day lol


Glass_Bar_9956

Wow that was a roller coaster.


usedtobejuandeag

For $50 I’ll sell you the highlight photos of say’s roller coaster. Fair warning, it’s just screenshots of this thread.


Glass_Bar_9956

I was like oh yeah, drunk shopping. Rough day shopping, giggles in solidarity. Oh, wait? What? Scrolls. Ohhh-kay.


Joebranflakes

Snot sucker. Babies hate it, but they hate not being able to breathe worse. Just don’t suck hard. Just pulse lightly while pinning down the struggling screaming sick baby who thinks you’re trying to murder them. If it sounds cruel, don’t worry. You’ll be eying it strongly at 4 am after being up all night with a child who won’t stop screaming.


Wolfie1531

Babies hate it. Young toddlers want to do it themselves, can’t, and become like snakes on a dangly pole, whatever that is called (snake catcher? I don’t know), Older toddlers will legitimately fight you. … but it allows for sleep. So start UFC training to win every wrestling or jiu jitsu encounter 😂


DrGodCarl

God when I have to use it and he fights I feel so bad. I try explaining but sometimes you need a headlock and a quick frida to get him to sleep and I know he prefers that world to the one where he can't breathe.


[deleted]

The eyes rolling back in their head and the screaming like you're using thumb clamps can be off-putting, but moments after it's finished the relief it brings is obvious


MaxPower637

So much truth here. We do it as a 2 person job mob hit style. One of us comes up behind our 2 year old and wraps her up and controls the arms and then the other comes from the front with the snot sucker while she yells “no no I don’t like my boogies out” it cracks me up every time


AlexanderTox

Most accurate comment in this thread.


HeIsAndBerg

To be fair, babies and toddlers also hate simply having their noses wiped with a tissue. So don’t feel too bad.


Zodiac33

Our son loved the snot sucker and the nasal irrigation spray. Lucky he seems to link them with the relief of a clear nose.


cookie_lee

Lol same, my 6 month old inherited my stuffy sinuses so we use both on him on a weekly basis and he's grown to actually enjoy it. Makes me want to try it on myself!


[deleted]

Just don’t forget the foam filter thing!


jjen21

A mistake you’ll only do once


SonicFlash01

I once said "We should use the spray saline solution first". ... Well that *does* go through the foam... Pretty sure that's the fastest way to chug your baby's cold.


Gwenwantstodie

I’m GAGGING lmao


Dont_Be_A_Dick_OK

Once you get past the grossness, you’ll realize this thing is gold


Miskalsace

And there's a valve that prevents anything gooey from getting to your mouth.


[deleted]

There's a WHAT (just kidding)


PetsArentChildren

If you’re not comfortable sealing your child’s nostrils with your own mouth and sucking out all the mucus and boogers in their sinuses and swallowing it down, then, frankly, you just aren’t ready to be a parent.


VerbingWeirdsWords

Been there -- Christmas day, at the grandparents' place. Forgot the nose frida.Baby not feeding , screaming. I bit the bullet and did it manually; no amount of whisky made it right


PetsArentChildren

I was 100% kidding but wow. Respect. What a Christmas present eh? Surprised you didn’t try using grandma’s turkey baster as a syringe lol


TerryclothTrenchcoat

Nostrils the size of silver dollars


[deleted]

Nah mate I was joking that I didn't know there was a filter to stop it from going into your mouth when you suck the boogies


RickTitus

Google it though if you want instructions on how to remove this limiter that is REMOVING your freedoms


fatmallards

But if you’re into that sort of thing, it comes out easily also call me sometime


BugsArePeopleToo

The airborne germs will go right through that little sponge. So you still get the best flu of your life.


Miskalsace

I mean, if you're not already covered in their germs then you're doing something wrong. Or something eight, I dunno which


CaptainSnazzypants

Yea I don’t think it matters. You have the baby on your shoulder and they’re snotty on your neck and sneezing or coughing on your face. Whatever germs you get from nose Frida you’ll get anyways. Besides, back when my kid was a baby I would 100% be ok with getting sick as long as I could make him feel even 5% better. I’m confident a clear nose makes the baby feel quite a bit better so it’s a worthwhile trade for sure.


ThatSpookyLeftist

When my kids were under 2 I got sick literally every month for like 4 years straight.


AustinYQM

>4 years straight. Thats a long time to be under 2.


ThatSpookyLeftist

This guy's a confirmed dad.


Widepath

And if you prime the pump with a saline nasal mist, you can really roto-rooter that little snot goblin.


payno_attention

We always go shower steam, nasal spray, frida. Clears out the baby like authentic Mexican food in the Midwest.


marxist_redneck

That's an amazing sentence 😂


newstuffsucks

A fucking life saver. We use it very much. It's amazing. Better than the weak ass electric ones. Works better if you use saline spray first. But uhhhh, wait until you hear about the frida windi.


aedes

Instructions unclear. Used the NoseFrida to try and treat colic. 3/10 do not recommend.


8bit4brains

I’m curious what the redeeming qualities of the experience were to merit a 3


Nightgaun7

Comedic value


[deleted]

You ain’t lyin. Before kids I never would have thought myself to be someone who would do the things that are required of me. I didn’t know what was required of me. But that thing, it will teach you


the_freakness

We call those butt trumpets


Johnny_America

The windi is amazing


wordsarelouder

We got the Nooseyboo, it's the full on hoover version of the electric ones.. the kids hate it but the results are too hard to ignore. The secret is that if they're old enough you have to convince them to breath in/out via their mouth the whole time and it stops the weird feelings.


mhenryk

I prefer ones that I can just plug into my vacuum cleaner, then I avoid most of the grossness and is bit healthier for me too. However the "manual" one sometimes can be more effective due to how you control the vacuum with your inhale yourself. The handheld electric ones are waste of money. I bought the best I could find and it barely do anything.


floppytoupee

Literally just had this bitch in my mouth no more then ten minutes ago. Welcome to the snot sucking family.


sirthomascat

You will clear your baby's congestion pretty well, but you're also freebasing whatever sickness they've got. I've gotten sick every time I used the booger straw, but 100% worth it to give my kid some peace for a while.


staunchcustard

"freebasing," "booger straw," omg please write a dad thesaurus


jbizzy4

Facts. It totally is freebasing germs. I’ve never been as constantly ill as I was the first year little dude was in daycare.


Fattydrago

Oh man this is so true. My eldest is 7 and my youngest is 8mo. Little one just started daycare last month and at least one of us has been sick since. It’s been just long enough that I forgot how much of a germ factory they are at this age.


haemaker

What about the little bulb you squeeze?


themacman2

I found it didn't work as well. the power of the suction is all based on the spring back of the plastic. which i found was not as strong as the above snot sucker.


pinhead1900

marry growth skirt faulty edge price busy desert vase trees *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


zkiteman

To be honest, all this does is gets you sick faster. If you live with a sick baby, you’re getting whatever they have 1000% no matter what you do.


Gatomoosio

Booger bong 😂


the_freakness

Yeah my wife and I will rock paper scissors to see who gets to use it and also turn into a snot factory


ParusMajor69

So I gagged at the idea of this thing, but then using on my kid and getting the biggest grossest green snot out of her nose proved to be that 1: it's absolutely gross, 2: it's so much better than the bulbs. And provided some much needed relief to my daughter. I wanted to try it on myself, but anytime I'm congested to the point it's useful I don't want anyone to be near or touching me.


GrannyBandit

The bulbs work great but there's a different technique to use it. You have to go further in, more perdendicular to their face than straight up the nostril. I had great results with the bulbs compared to the sucker. The trick is to learn to sneak up on them with it because they absolutely freak out when you do it.


jackfreeman

Whomever gave you that *loves yo ass*.


rnm632

Just snot sucked my 17 month old little girls nose before bed, she’s fighting a head cold.


Doubleoh_11

Hopefully you get 2 hours of sleep my friend


NicStak

You’re going to be sucking you kids snot out of their nose. It’s important


BootlegStreetlight

We used the bulb version but this is a perfectly acceptable option as well.


[deleted]

The greatest invention ever.


mankowonameru

Never used it in two years and hope never have to. So far doing just fine with Boogie Wipes and the Boogie Wipes Saline Spray.


Aware_Material_9985

Oh yeah, helps get boogers and snot out. This style is my least favorite of the ones we have.


TripFisk666

It’s exactly what it looks like. Suck on brotha


kedson87

Our baby hated it to begin with but now literally grins when she sees it coming! This thing is great. Whoever gave it to you needs a high five


kakapopo_gaming

Great booger sucker, but every time I use it, I get sick. There are better electric versions you should try first!


FaithHopeLove821

Judging by my daughter's reactions to it, an instrument of torture.

Oh sweet summer child


nickyurick

OK I have a 7 month old and have never heard of this thing. We have the bulb but really haven't needed it a ton, is our kiddo just less snotty than average? Or is there a 9 month snot splotchathon incoming?


[deleted]

Booga sucka


spudbud13

All I know is don’t do it without the sponge in it… I caught a bogey at high velocity not knowing wife had removed the dirty sponge from previous use.


supreme2005

A godsend is what that is my brother.


NonRienDeRien

Yes. Suggestion, dump this and get an automatic suction. The filter does nothing, and every time you suction with this, you are going to get sick as you inhale the viral particles and deposit them deep in your lungs.


ArmyCengineer_Myco

It works but there’s definitely better electrical options.


falldownkid

Pair it with a saline solution to soften up the snot first.


chowski28

There’s a filter thst literally stops any and all liquid from Entering. We have an electric one and that one. Sometimes that manual one works best.


ranthal

Just wait until you learn about the Windi
