Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Haakaa Silicone Penguin Nasal Aspirator work?
The Haakaa Silicone Penguin Nasal Aspirator utilizes natural suction to gently remove mucus from your baby's nasal passages. By squeezing the soft silicone body and placing the tip at the entrance of the nostril, releasing the squeeze creates a vacuum that draws out nasal fluids, helping your baby breathe more comfortably.
Is the aspirator safe for newborns?
Yes, the aspirator comes with two interchangeable tip sizes: the Arc Tip is suitable for newborns aged 0-12 months, and the Cone Tip is designed for babies 12 months and older. This ensures a comfortable and effective fit for infants of various ages.
How do I clean and sterilize the aspirator?
Disassemble the aspirator, including the detachable Output Valve B. Clean all parts with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow them to dry completely. For sterilization, boil the components in water for 2-3 minutes or use a steam sterilizing system. Avoid using bleach-based agents. The included Tube Cleaning Brush can be used to clean the airway of the silicone tip. Note that the brush is not suitable for microwaves, sterilizers, or boiling water due to its stainless steel components.
What materials is the aspirator made from?
The aspirator is made of 100% food-grade silicone, ensuring it's safe for your baby. It's also free from BPA, PVC, and phthalates, providing peace of mind regarding potential chemical exposures.
Can the aspirator be used on older children?

Is the aspirator portable for travel use?
Absolutely. The aspirator is lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry in a diaper bag or purse. It's designed to be ready for any nasal congestion emergencies while you're on the go.
How does the dual-valve design benefit the aspirator's function?
The dual-valve design prevents backflow of mucus into your baby's nose, ensuring that once the mucus is drawn into the aspirator, it doesn't re-enter the nasal passage. This design enhances hygiene and effectiveness.
Are there any precautions I should take when using the aspirator?
Ensure that the tip fits snugly at the entrance of the nostril without inserting it deeply. Regularly check the product for signs of damage and replace if necessary. Store the aspirator in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects. Always use the product under adult supervision and keep it out of reach of children and pets when not in use.
