Baby Vac

[anonymous]

This just sounded soooo disgusting that I had to share it. Someone on another site posted about the benefits of a baby vac. It's an attachment to your vacuum cleaner ??? that is used to suck on baby boogers. She said just google to find it and that it was a real god send. I can't IMAGINE what my vacuum cleaner repairperson would say if I brought in my vacuum full of that.

That sounds kind of nasty. Just knowing that snot was in my vacuum, is enough to make me cring.

I'd be afraid to suck out brains too. system malfunction?

Liz, I love your new signature art!

Thanks Jane - I found a whole wack of them on the internet the other day.

Whenever my stepdad would get readl sick and have a bad runny nose, he would just get the vacuum cleaner and suck it all out.

This reminds me of my mom telling me how kids don't learn to blow their nose until they are older (not sure of age). She knew that if I could blow my nose I would be a much healthier puppy. Remember I wasn't diagnosed until 2 yrs. of age. So... she taught me to blow my nose which involved mouth-to-mouth blowing from her lungs to me until I figured out how to direct the air she was sending into me out my nose and not into my lungs. She says after I knew the feeling of wooshing air through the nose I was able to nose blow on my own. Thanks mom! I'm sure you got my snot all over your face in the process. Motherly love...ah a beautiful thing.

Hi, I came across this forum on a search. I am the Canadian Distributor for Babyvac and wanted to set the record straight and provide my own feedback for this product. (if you believe me.. )
This product is a Nasal aspirator that was designed primarily for babies who have chronic congestion. if any of you have tried the bulb types you know they dont work. The aspirator was designed mimicking the aspirators used in hospitals, but for home use. Constant suction is by far the most effective and very effective and has saved lives in some cases of babies. The Babyvac has been clinically tested and is recommended by doctors around the world. it is also a registered class 1 medical device with Health Canada. it is safe and very effective. I first became aware of its use with Cystic Fibrosis patients at a baby show many years ago and I know of many adults who have used it and are very happy they did. if you want to ask me any details or are just curious to find out more you can contact me through my web site www.babyvac.ca I would be happy to assist you. An no it doesn't suck your brain out....at least I have no reported cases of that yet...LOL

One more thing, the mucus does not go into your vacuum but collected in the babyvac and easily cleaned.

And why am I not surprised? The one BIG difference between a house vac and hospital vacuum sources is exhaust. I wouldn't have a baby suffering respiratory problems anywhere near a dust vacuum. We have a good home vacuum and the best I can achieve is about 8 feet from suck to blow (-ing dust back in baby's nose).

A professional nasal asperator and baby vac are miles distant in price so why stuff a gadget on the end of a dust sewer to save the cost of a hair dryer's blower? This is stupid! Call the manufacturer and give them a little market feedback. For $15 they can provide their own clean source of vacuum. Some nebulizer pumps have access to the vacuum or air intake that would work. Possibly a venturi type vacuum using a nebulizer's air port would produce adequate draught to work with your thingy. I personally hate vacuum cleaner.

I used to charge good money for ramblings like this. It is free to you.

I wouldn't have a baby near a dusty vacuums. I guess the only way I see it working is having a dedicated vacuum just for this baby vac. I am also guessing the reason it doesn't come with its own motor etc and instead uses the vaccine is to decrease the cost. Some corners should not be cut especially on medical equipment.
