Any mum knows how awful it is hearing your baby try to breathe when they have a stuffy nose, especially when they are feeding or sleeping …
Which is why we are pleased to announce the FESS® Little Noses Nasal Spray trial and review.
What is FESS® Little Noses Nasal Spray?
FESS Little Noses Nasal Spray is a gentle and natural nasal saline solution which provides relief of blocked and stuffy little noses due to cold & flu, allergies, sinusitis or dry air.
Fess Little Noses nasal spray is suitable and safe to use on newborns and babies up to 2 years of age
How Does FESS Little Noses Nasal Spray Work?
FESS Little Noses works by loosening and thinning nasal mucus and moisturising dry nasal passages. This helps to clear blocked and stuffy noses, so your baby can breathe easier, naturally. As babies insist on breathing through their nose, a clear nose is essential prior to feeding and sleeping.
Is FESS Little Noses Nasal Spray Safe to Use?
FESS Little Noses Nasal Spray is safe to be used as often as often as needed as it is:
✔ A natural effective solution
✔ Preservative free
✔ Non-medicated
✔ Suitable for newborns and babies up to 2 yrs
✔ Once open can be used until the expiry date
It is even approved by the Sensitive Choice program of the National Asthma Council Australia.
Why is it important to clear babies’ blocked noses?
In the first few months of a baby’s life, they can only breathe through their noses. A blocked nose can make feeding and sleeping really difficult for your baby.
The use of FESS Little Noses, 5 minutes before feeding will help dislodge and thin baby’s mucus, helping improve breathing and assisting your baby to feed normally.
Using FESS Little Noses on your baby’s nose will also help to clear out allergy-causing microscopic particles of dust and pollen that cling to their inner nasal membranes.
FESS Little Noses Spray 15mL retails for $9.95 and is sold in all major pharmacies.
How to use FESS Little Noses Saline Nasal Spray?
Using FESS Little Noses Saline Nasal Spray when your baby is upright:
While your baby is upright, simply place the nozzle at the entrance of each nostril and press the spray pump down.
Using FESS Little Noses Saline Nasal Spray when your baby is lying down:
1. Lie the baby flat on his/her back and tilt the head back.
It may be helpful to place a small pillow or rolled towel under the shoulders for support.
Gently remove any existing excess mucus.
2. Hold the bottle upright and press the spray pump down once.
Place the nozzle of the spray pump at the entrance of each nostril and press down to spray.
Apply 1 to 3 sprays per nostril.
3. Hold your baby in this position for one to two minutes to give the saline solution time to thin the mucus.
You can repeat as often as needed. The easy to use spray pump has been specifically designed to produce a soft spray ideal for little noses.
4. When you have finished, gently wipe excess mucus from the baby’s nose to prevent any skin irritation

Trying to keep nostrils clear, my baby has relief from FESS Little Noses Nasal Spray. I used to use my fingernails to retrieve unwanted boogers from my babies nostrils and sometimes cut them in the process and me feel like an awful mother but now having FESS Little Noses Nasal Spray at home I am at ease using the aspirator and spray I am able to suck them out with causing cuts and stress. I thank them that there is a product out there that enables you to do that. A lot less worry for parents and knowing now your baby can breathe a lot better.

We used it just the other day, poor little boy could hardly breathe only 5 weeks at the time, nostril was all stuffed up and wouldn’t feed from my breast. Got out the FESS Little Noses Nasal Spray and Aspirator and used on him. Boogers were being sucked up and it was gross but it enabled my baby boy to breathe a lot better. End result he was able to feed from me and have a reasonable good sleep without desperately trying to breathe.

My second baby is a winter baby, combine that with an older sibling who goes to childcare and before we knew it we had our first newborn cold. With my first being a summer baby I was a bit oblivious when it came to knowing what to buy to help my baby.
Thankfully the pharmacy assistant pointed me in the direction of Fess Little Noses Nasal Spray. It was so simple to use, my baby tolerated it really well, and most importantly it was effective.
As we enter the cold and flu season I will definitely be recommending this product to all my gorgeous soon-to-be mum friends.

You put the spray into their nose, then use the aspirator to suck the unwanted boogers out, it seems and looks gross but with your littlie breathing a lot better it’s worth going through the grossness of it all.

Enjoyed reading previous reviews because it made me think of my 2 daughters. Daughter 1 swore by FESS Little Noses for her 2 babies and recommended it to her sister Daughter 2. Daughter 2 had one baby and would not use FESS because she thought the idea and action was ‘GROSS’. But when her baby was about 7 months old, he was very choked up with a cold and couldn’t breathe. Daughter 1 used FESS on him and cleared his breathing immediately. Daughter 2 was so relieved and pleased. She uses it all the time now.

FESS Little Noses is a good product. It is not a miracle worker, however. It seems to clear the nose for a short time. I’ve found with my 2 children, nothing really works. You just have to ride it out. However, FESS Little Noses did give my daughter relief for long enough to feed and settle to sleep so that is a massive bonus.

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

Each is cleverly designed with a removable divider that allows you to choose between using three or four compartments.

Finally, a kids’ lunch box that stores hot AND cold food in one place! Designed out of necessity by a problem-solving mum, the OmieBox encourages low-waste lunches and ends the need to use multiple clunky containers (which always get lost!). The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.
I absolutely love the bb box quite sturdy. It took many lunch box to find one that would last. Before this lunch box we had a stuck on you. I found the stuck on you lunch box didn’t last when the hinge’s snapped they wouldn’t get back to me (only had for a short time and my youngest couldn’t open it so it wasn’t dropped. Just opened it after the 8th time and snapped). The bb box has lasted the last year and a half and still going strong
What a great help for busy Mommas like us. From the style to comfort and convenience, this article really put the best for our kids. Not to mention the added info about safety on what these lunchboxes were made of! I am also impressed about the organisation function of each, it seems small but woooh could put so much…thanks for sharing this article
