Although the 2 and 3 oz aspirators sell the most. I must say I am a huge fan of the 1 oz. Primarily because of its size. This allows for more mucus removal because you can go up the nasal canal a little further (proceed with caution of course). Especially during seasons of heavy congestion, you will find this small handy aspirator to be a life saver.
If you haven't tried it, I encourage everyone to buy one and have it on hand. You will end up finding it to be very useful.

THE BENEFITS OF THE 1 OZ ASPIRATOR
The 1 oz aspirator seems to be the least popular of them all. Why? I'm not quite sure. Maybe it has something to do with its size? Well, in my opinion that should be a selling point. The 1 oz aspirators are amazing and because they are much smaller, you can go up the nasal cavity a little further to get out more of the mucus. I prefer these over the 2 oz. If you haven't tried these yet, I highly suggest you give it a try and see for yourself.

DAVOL VS. THE ORIGINAL BABY NASAL ASPIRATOR
So you are probably wondering what is the difference between Davol and The Original. The difference is surely in the quality. Although Davol has branded the aspirator, the Original brand is surely a better aspirator.
I get asked all the time if the quality compares. I will say Davol is good, but I will also say The Original brand is better. Why? Well, I recently put the two to the test to find out.
My child was recently congested. She suffers from allergies and had a bad cold on top of that. Her nasal cavity was definately plugged and although the mucus wasnt streaming down her face, she was surely clogged.
I tried the Davol aspirator first ( I used the large green one because I knew that was going to give me the better suction. When I held the aspirator up to her nose to suction out the mucus, the congestion was so bad that the aspirator did not spring back out. I had to wiggle it to get it create some suction but it basically stayed pressed in.
When I used The Original aspirator, the aspirator sprang back out instantly and unclogged my daughters nose. I can tell the rubber was a little thicker and just worked better.
My suggestion is save your money and get The Original Aspirator. Its much cheaper and works better.

Tips For Relieving Baby Congestion and the Best Nasal Aspirators to Use
As you know, flu season is around the corner and that means lots of sniffles and congestion. This can be a stressful time for both the parent and the sick child, but there is hope if you know what to do when these situations arise.
First, keep saline spray on hand. There are the nose drops for children under the age of two that will help loose the mucus. Then there are the medicated drops for children over the age of two. These are great because they help reduce the swelling the in the mucus membranes thus opening up your child's airway making it easier for your little one to breath.
Next, you will need a nasal aspirator. Although there are several on the market, my recommendation is the hospital grade baby nasal aspirator. These are disposable aspirators and the suction quality is excellent.
These come in three sizes 1, 2 and 3 oz. The 1 oz is perfect for preemies/newborns. These are also excellent to use when your child is heavily congested because you can go back further in to the nasal cavity to remove more mucus (do this with caution). This is one of my favorite sizes. The davol brand in the 1 oz is the preferred bulb. The 2 oz is the most common size. This is the blue aspirator and most of the local hospitals give you this one. Davol or economy brand were equally well. Lastly, is the 3 oz. This is great for older children/toddlers. This also has the strongest suction because the bulb is larger. Davol and economy brand in this size also work as equally well. NOTE: IF YOU CHILD IS RESISTING THE SUCTION, THERE COULD BE DAMAGED MUCUS MEMBRANES AND IT IS ADVISE THAT YOU DON'T USE THIS TOOL AND CONSULT A PHYSICIAN. YOU ALSO DON'T WANT TO OVERUSE THESE ON YOUR CHILDREN FOR THE SAME REASONS. OVERUSE, CAN CAUSE MUCUS MEMBRANE SWELLING CREATED BY THE STRONG SUCTION.
Third, invest in baby vapor rub. This is wonderful and help your congested child sleep and well as soothe the child. I use this as night time or nap time on my child. This is also great alternative when you are needing to give your child's nose a break from the aspirator because of irritation.
Fourth, invest in a humidifier. This is also a must have. There are warm mist and cool mist humidifiers. There is controversy over which is better. (Warm can sometimes lead to SIDS). Talk to your physician about which one to use based on your needs and your child's condition.
Last of all, elevate the head. One of the best ways to do this is in their car seat. This works well when they are still small and they can't roll over yet. You can also elevate the mattress with a folded towel or those wedge pads.
Following these easy tips will help you and your child. As always, consult with a physician if conditions worsen or medical treatment is needed.
