What Is a Bulb Syringe?
A bulb syringe is a special kind of syringe that is used for sucking out and removing breast milk, formula, or excess mucus from a baby's nose or mouth. Medical professionals like nurses and doctors can use these syringes, and new mothers can also be trained to use them while feeding their infants.
A bulb syringe consists of a bulb-like sphere at one end which can be squeezed to generate a sucking force, a tube into which the mucus, milk, or formula can be drawn, and a narrow tip, which is inserted into the baby's nose or mouth before sucking out the liquid.
Bulb syringes are very useful medical accessories for infants. They help to make feeding easier, safer, and more comfortable for the baby, reducing the risk of the nose or throat being blocked and causing choking, stuffy noses, sneezes, or spitting up.

How Does a Bulb Syringe Work?
Using a bulb syringe is a relatively simple procedure. First, the user will need to squeeze the bulb until it collapses. With the bulb still squeezed, place the syringe inside the blocked nostril or inside the cheek of the baby and then release the bulb. The suction generated by the bulb will draw up formula and mucus into the tube of the syringe. You can then take the syringe out of the baby's nose or mouth, squeeze the bulb again to squirt out the mucus or fluid into a tissue or other receptacle, and then repeat the process as needed.
Bulb Syringe Sizes
Bulb syringes can vary in size, with different lengths and capacities available to suit infants of different ages and sizes. It's common for these syringes to have a 50 to 60ml interior capacity. They may vary slightly in length, but are usually just a few inches long.
Bulb Syringe Types
Most bulb syringes are very similar in terms of their design and the way in which they work, but they can vary slightly. There are one-piece bulb syringes, for example, which consist of one solid piece of plastic, molded to form the bulb and tube shape, as well as multi-piece bulb syringes that have the different components combined together to form the syringe structure.
Bulb Syringe Uses
The main use of bulb syringes is to suck up excess mucus, fluid, or breast milk from infants’ noses and mouths during feeding. Babies may sometimes have too much milk or formula in their mouths, which can make them sneeze, cough, choke, or spit up. The use of a bulb syringe helps to get rid of the excess liquid and make the baby more comfortable.
