Olbas oil
Lily (7 weeks) is all snuffly and irritable with a cold and keeps waking herself up with a jump when her nose briefly gets too blocked to breathe through. Is it ok to put a bit of Olbas oil on a muslin or is this too strong? Is there a baby equivalent, if so? Thanks all.

its not cheap but whenever ollie has a snuffly nose i put some on a cloth or tissue under his mattress, or some on his pjs, bout an inch down them.
It works wonders and i love the smell of it, although i think it says from 3 months on it..
i also use snufflebabe which is a better version of childrens vicks and its great, but again not cheap. i did use the room vapouriser from calpol but found it really dried the room out and Ollie would wake up with a dry throat and coughing so stopped using it and just use these two now.

Sorry to be dim but is a vapouriser something that sits in a room or something you use on the baby? So clueless!!
but i still use it in the boiled water for charlie when he was 6 weeks as he was loaded with the cold x
And final stupid question: shall I get a vapouriser AND an Olbas/Vicks/Snufflebabe type thing, do you think? Or is that overkill?
Aarghh why don't they teach you about these things in antenatal classes?!
I have a vaporiser (plug in) and use olbas oil on her pyjamas too so I would say it is safe!

I'd say get the snuffle babe and the olbas oil you can put some snufflebabe in water to create the same effect as the vapouriser (or even get some cheapo version to do that with ) without drying the room out.

The nose drops are good (saline ones) but they are a nightmare to put in as Gabe HATED them so they weren't worth it for us but try it.
