Ives used this for years on all my children, does exactly what it’s meant to and isn’t too strong either. Helps ease congestion, I just use a tiny bit on chest after a bedtime bath.
About 2 weeks after I brought my baby home he got a cold and finding a way to help him breath was hard until someone suggested this. A little rubbed on his chest worked a treat and we could all sleep a little better
I have used this on all my children, I always have a tub handy and it's always a go to when they start with the sniffles, it's helped them greatly and is so easy to use. Though the older ones aren't keen on having it rubbed in as it's sticky it does give them a better nights sleep when it's applied to when it isn't.
Great for my little one, not to strong a smell, great little tub

Helps dmt daughter congestion without 30 mins. Helped her sleep better which made my night better too. The smell isn’t to strong and doesn’t sting either. It’s small enough not to take up to much space when having it to travelling with it. It’s nit a costly product either.
This is perfect for when baby gets a cold. I remember when my son got his first cold, I felt helpless. This really helped clear his nose and helped him breath again. Just rub a little on their chest before bed. I also read somewhere that it helps to rub it in the soles of their feet, I don't know why, not sure what that does but I do it anyway.
This is essential for babies in winter! No matter how many layers I put my child in he somehow ended up congested in the winter months. After applying this to his chest, back and feet at night we were practically guaranteed a night of rest with no tears from not being able to breath ?
Always helps with congested little noses. Smells lovely too. Rubbing on the back, chest and soles of the feet seem to work wonders. Also placing some on a muslin under the cot out of reach helps keep baby snot free through the night
This stuff is amazing, when your little one is full of a cold! This helps them have a great nights sleep! It helps the breath better! I put it on her chest and a little bit under her nose! She asks for it when she’s got a cold so what more could you want! As she knows it helps her!
Love this stuff. I apply to my babies feet and pop socks on over night. Helps reduce coughing. The vapours help relieve symptoms of colds and flu. I have even smothered my husband's feet in this stuff during the night when he has annoyed me coughing all night and he stopped coughing.
This works well seems to help little ones chest as well as helping unblock his nose, I find it usefully if using at night to apply a bit before bed as it often makes noses run as it unblock so gives you chance to prevent eating snot etc when laying down. it does leave a slightly greasy feel but I don't think that's a big problem.
Use a tiny bit on baby's chest and bottoms of her feet to her sleep when she has a cold.
Sometimes I put it on a tissue next to her cot so she can smell it more during the night.
Can still smell it on my hands after washing twice

This is a nifty little product and an absolute godsend. When we grown ups feels lousy with cold symptoms it’s easy to get out the vicks. However, vicks generally isn’t suitable for babies until after 12 months. My son is 5 months old and has been unfortunate to catch a cold a few times and for the first few months all I was given was sterimar from the gp which doesn’t do a lot. This product is amazing. My son was that snuffly he was waking himself up with his breathing. Rubbed a small amount on his chest and his sleep is now uninterrupted and his breathing sounds normal and not congested. Would highly recommend. The only thing I didn’t like was the after smell after I washed my hands but hey if it works I will take it.
This works wonders when little one had a cold. Soft and subtle but still does the trick and lasts all night. Only downside is the little tub, hard to access and not easy to clean up after.
I found this product good for when baby has a cold really helps clear the airways which helps baby get a good night sleep and recover from a cold faster. The only down side was the tub as you have to put your fingers in each time which doesn’t scream hygienic maybe a tube would be better.
My little one suffered terrible with coughs and colds when she was first born around December 2017. She had bronchitis but fortunately didn't need hospitalizing for treatment. This product was fantastic .. I even when I ran out the vapour drops melted this is hot water for around the room ventilation.
You only need a small amount to rub on your baby's back and chest so a little goes a long way. My little girl definitely sleeps better when I use this and now even when she starts with a slight cough or cold o use this at bedtime and it works a treat.
Definitely get this if your little one is prone to coughs and colds or suffering .
This is a great alternative to the leading brand that is too strong for little babies. It has a great smell that is strong enough to clear little nose but not too strong to be over powering for them, so completely safe.
Really helped my little one with his first cold. Applied to his chest to help with congestion and to the soles of his feet for coughing. He has sensitive skin and was not irritated by the product at all. A must buy for the first aid kit.
Brilliant product, really helps to keep my little ones nose clear when he's suffering, can still smell it the following morning after putting it on him before bed.
Great vapour rub for when my little girl had a cold, it isn’t too strong a smell so she doesn’t seem to mind it too much and helped her to get off to sleep. It’s a little greasy but it’s to be expected with this kind of thing.
Really easy to use on small babies as not greasy. Doesn't have a harsh smell to it. Used it on my 2 month old son as he was born in the winter and had snow so he had a very bad cough and cold. Used this product for a a couple of weeks and he improved within days.
