If you blow in their mouth (like doing cpr - your mouth has to fully cover their mouth) the snot will fly out of their nose *taadaa!*. Maybe this should be a task for mommy? It sounds scarry but it works and the baby is going to fuss but no pain is involved I promise. I know this is probably a few months too late but you dont have to suck the snot out.

even if you would have been alone to deal with the poorsickbaby you would have done fine (just like our monkey’s daddy would have) because you are intelligent and you love that kid to pieces. that makes for good parenting!
