    Yeah I've heard of that before. I'm not keen on the ingredients of vicks vaporub tho, so don't know if I'd want it that absorbed iykwim.

    I've done it with my kids since they were tiny, only we use Eucybear.

    It does work!!

    DPs mum mentioned this to me last night - but instead of Vicks she said to rub eucalytpus oil into the sole of bubs feet if they get a cold.

    I'd not heard of it before but DPs mum said to keep it in mind for when bubs is here

    It definitely works! I have done it for my boys and myself and each time none of us have coughed at bedtime. It's strange, but true
