OK. So most of you remember my story from Desiree about the Afghani moms. No? Ah, well, my boss in Malawi is a former volunteer for Doctors without Borders. In ~1986 she joined a team of ~15 doctors with the intention of conducting mass polio vaccination campaigns across Afghanistan. When the team arrived in Afghanistan, they were immediated kidnapped by the Mujahideen. The whole event is one of the most fascinating tales I have ever heard - they didn't manage to escape for a YEAR. They were basically stolen to become military doctors, but this still included administering care to all the children. So the moms would bring their babies to the doctors for examinations, etc. forming a long line while waiting. Well, Desiree noticed, off and on, the mothers leaning over their babies' faces, but couldn't tell what they were doing. Whispering in their ear perhaps? Some prayer, maybe?

Not exactly. Finally, one of the moms closer to the front of the line cleared things up..........literally. Apparently, in countries where it's difficult to find nasal suction bulbs, moms administer such care by mouth. Now THAT'S love.

What's even better, is that you, yes YOU, can now care for your baby in much the same way!! Alert mom and inventor, Kaisa, has invented a super snot sucker that has been heralded as the 2007 European Baby Product of the Year. The Nosefrida is doctor recommended and easy to use! I'm updating my Amazon Wish List RIGHT NOW.

Yuuuuuuuuuuummy
