We tend to remember it with babies, and forget with older kids 🙂

Steam when you use fresh boiling water or from a very hot tap, helps with congestion, cool mist in a vaporiser is less likely to breed and spread bacteria. I hadn’t heard the news about Vicks. I know you shouldn’t use mentholated products on babies and infants because it can irritate their lungs and some people don’t like that Vicks is petroleum based.

1) Why do you recommend cool mist vaporizer. I always thought warm mist is more beneficial in cold?
2) There have been some news that Vicks is harmful for children. I am in 2 minds about using it because it seems to help my kids.
