3. Boo Boos, as children grow we will notice they get tons of Boo Boos, unless you bubble wrap them… just kidding!

This allows the easiest application, and its clean!
4. Bulbs, syringes, and suctions, OH MY! Boogers, lots and lots of boogers will need to be sucked. Sometimes those bulbs can contain WAY too many boogers. Try using a cotton swab to clean out those bulbs and allow for better suction!
