I think vicks is not recommended for under 2s. I don't know why just remember reading it on the vicks tub. Maybe that is just direct on the skin and not on other things. When they are so little it is really hard. I hope she gets better soon. Have you tried healthline.

Thanks ladies! Yeah, it does say not for under 2s on the vicks, but the doctor we saw a couple of weeks ago said it was ok if it was really necessary. I've still been putting it on things near her rather than on her though.

Someone else recommended a kiwiherb product called destuff, but I haven't tried that yet so can't vouch for it.

Healthline were pretty frustrating - they asked a whole lot of questions about her breathing - was her chest sucking in etc, and wouldn't really listen to me saying I wasn't worried about her as such, just wanted some ideas on how to help her be more comfortable (she is miserable, but not needing to visit A&E!). They didn't actually have many ideas though - perhaps cos there isn't much you can really do for a wee baby.

I'm guessing the comvita product was honey-based too?

I make the same one mum used to make for us - equal parts lemon juice, honey & glycerine . It's good for helping you cough all the gunk out!

ETA - but you're not supposed to give honey to under 1's, so that might not be a good plan!!
