A little bit of Baby Balsam (by Vicks) rubbed on their chest just before bedtime works quite well too (similar effect to Karvol). ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

Thanks ladies i have got the saline solution and the karvol and will see how we go.
I tried the baby balsam last night and it didnt seem to do to much i think the karvol is working better 
Shes not really eating or drinking so is it ok if she mainly drinks diluted juice? She wont drink water... |

Caitlin was exactly the same, would only take her bottle, wasn't interested in solids. I assume the vitamins in the juice would be good for her.
Caitlin is heaps better today and eating HEAPS lil' miss piggy ------------- http://lilypie.com">
