My DD seems to be getting colds about every five weeks or so. I have been reluctant to give her any cold cough meds as I don't like the idea. Today I went to the chemist as a friend of mine suggested that a Vaporiser might help (DD has many nights of sleep interupted by coughing). Chemist did not want to sell me vaporiser but rather wanted to sell cough cold med. Was wondering does anyone use a vaporiser. If so are they effective and which are the best. I looked at a Vicks one online which seemed OK. Would appreciate any feedback. Hate seeing my DD unwell.
Thanks.
And would it be better to leave ducted heating on 18 overnight would this help cough?

Hello - I dont have any first hand knowledge of vapourisers but I am really interested to hear people views on them as I getting one to use in DD room at night. My SIL has just started using one for her 18month old DD and raves about how fantastic they are. She says her DD no longer snuffles and gets blocked up at night and has started sleeping better.
I have a Vicks vapouriser and love it. The pharmacist actually suggested me getting one rather than giving me medicine. I can't remember the last time I had to give my DD1 medicine for a cold, the vapouriser will usually do the trick before it gets to that stage.
As soon as I see the first sign of an impending cold, I have it on for my DD's, at night and during the day if need be.
Yup i'm like Jodi.
We have a Euky bear one and we use the drops in it for DS when he has a cold, and have been using it for me since I have a cold and cough at the moment since I can't take drugs for it.
Invaluable when you have a young bub with a cold. We used it heaps and heaps.
Just make sure you air the room out well during the day because mould can quickly develop on the roof etc.
They are fantastic. We have 2 Taav ones. We use the drops in them and it makes the world of difference. I don't like giving my 1 year old cough med either so we just use the vapouriser and it always helps so much. Def air the room during the day though. Things go mouldy quickly because of the excess moisture in the air.
