I'm assuming you mean in the nose? If so....it helps to use a saline solution in the nose because it breaks it up and makes it come out easier. Then you push the bulb in so you push all the air out and hold. Put it in the baby's nose and let go slowly. You can hear it sucking it out but it may take a few tries to get it all out. Always make sure to clean out the bulb afterward.
