@laniejay well this is the first time I heard about that risk but thanks for letting me know

@deejd, it may not affect all babies- it’s a risk and it does happen. Not everyone gets into a car accident, but we all use car seats.

@laniejay when I took my son to the doctor when he was feeling the same way the doctor said it was cold symptoms & my mom used Vicks when me & my sisters were toddlers & now that we are way way older we dont have respiratory distress or anything like it doesn't put effect on all babies it could put a effect on some my babies doctor told me To put a little bit of Vicks in a humidifier idk I just haven't heard about Vicks causing any problems

Vicks is not safe for babies. It shouldn’t be used under 10 yrs. Despite being marketed as such, it contains eucalyptus (and they sketchily hide it as it’s contained in the “fragrance” and not listed as an ingredient) eucalyptus can cause bronchiospasms and respiratory distress. Some parents mistake the symptoms for cold symptoms.

Saline spray, lots of cuddles, and some elderberry.

@deejd, I got it at Walmart! I’m sure they have it at anywhere they sell vaporizers though!

@mblodgett922202 thank you 🙂 what store can I get it from ?

I bought this Vick’s plug in thing, and the lavender inserts for my kids. It worked like a charm! My daughter actually slept through the night and she got really stuffy during the winter.

@ashleyshantel1 😕 noo I just elevated his head with the pillows he sounds a little better I just wish he knew how to blow his nose already

I’m currently going through the same thing. Laying in bed now and can hear how congested she is. Doesn’t seem like the zarbees helps at night
