? about Neil Med SInus Rinse

I am hoping to save a minute or two of daily prep time here so I am wondering if it is okay to mix the solution in the bottle then use 1/2 of the solution in the morning then use the other 1/2 in the evening without cleaning the bottle? My daughter only uses 1/2 the amount (4 oz) and we have been washing the bottle in between.

I am kinda thinking it ins't a big deal, not much different than using regular saline over and over without washing the bottle...but please tell me if you feel otherwise!

Thanks!

if you did this I would definately take out the dispenser and put saran wrap over the bottle top and at least rinse out the dispenser with alcohol and hang to dry. My concern would be the bacteria traveling down tube into the solution between administrations.

One other idea would be to get a second one adn prepare them both at the same time in the morning and save the second. I know my clinic gives them away or they are $10 at my local grocers.

Also, if you have never tried using bottom half it can get a bit problematic iwth getting air as well and your daughter may not like that since she is not used to it, I know I dont use the bottom just for that reason.

just my 2 cents
