The face behind the natural label - 4little1

I’m eternally grateful that I was able to easily breastfeed 4 babies long term, but I’m well aware that many mums can have difficulties. Interestingly research shows that so many mums give up after only a few months and sometimes its due to babies not feeding properly, yet this could simply be because of a cold or the snuffles. Breast feeding doesn’t prevent colds although of course it can build immunity but babies often cry when they’re feeding due to a blocked nose.
Sarah and John Soulsby run 4little1 the smallest company to win the Queens Award for outstanding innovation. They really know their stuff when it comes to breastfeeding and specifically helping babies with snuffly noses. They’ve produced some great products including natural air fresheners and organic oils for baby massage but their most innovative product is the ‘Baby nose-clear aspirator’. ‘We believed in the Baby nose-clear so much that we gave up our jobs and remortgaged the house to bring it to market !’ Sarah says. The breastfeeding mum literally sucks the mucus through a tube - sorry to be so graphic but don’t worry its collected not swallowed ! This gives immediate relief, instantly clearing the airways so baby can latch on and feed more easily. It’s rather like like an adult blowing their nose.
Physically removing the mucus helps prevent related issues such as ear infection, coughs and stomach upsets. · You can use it from 3 months, and it’s even available on prescription as well as in leading supermarkets and pharmacies.
