My wife and I agree, there's no better tool than the suction machine!

Well, truth-be-told, we're too frightened to do the deep suctioning (and besides, it really hurts Jack and has not benefited him in the past) and mouth suctioning hasn't been too helpful.  However, we use the nose attachment (the one that looks like a mushroom) almost every day!  It's like it blows his nose for him!!  No booger is too small or too big to be suctioned out.

AND, Jack now recognizes it and makes no complaint about having it done, except when we're trying too much and when he knows it's finished, he'll pull his head away.
