Thanks nic. I would prefer not to either. I don't have a humidifier though any ideas where these are sold? Big W or only chemists. I have been buring eucalytus in my oil burner but that only last a little while and I can't have it on when she's aseel as I am frighten of the candle. I have been using baby vicks though, but it just seems to run out as such in the early hours of the morning. Thanks again.

When Ethan was little we put a old saucepan filled with very hot water under his cot with vicks in it.. We didn't own a humidifier then.. I think you can pick them up at any pharmacy. not sure about Big W ect..

I hope you can get her nose unblocked soon.. poor bubby..

That's a great idea. I was thinking about doing that but thought I would kick over the pot for sure and burn someone. Never thought of putting it under her cot.

THANK YOU!! I'm off to do that now, at least it will get me through until I find a humidifyer.

kts64s - You could rub some Vicks Baby Balsam on her chest to help her stuffy nose. I'm not terribly impressed with its ingredients, but I feel it's a lesser of 2 evils compared to drugs. Altho there's always panadol if you feel she needs it

Kayla hasn't been completely stuffed up yet, when she had a cold she managed to clear her nose with sneezing, so there was no congestion.

There's plugin thingos too that you could try instead of a vapouriser. But a friend of mine who works for the council was told by a firefighter that plugin scents and things are notorious for starting housefires!! Dunno if that's a 'rumour' or if it's fact. Haven't heard anything anywhere else about it.

OMG Nic - I'd die if Kayla woke for 2 hours! Kayla wakes frequently but has a feed and goes back to sleep. But she doesn't do this until after going to bed around 10pm. Before that she wakes up properly between sleeps.

BekZ - good luck with the move. I don't envy you one bit! I'm hoping our landlord has no plans for this house any time soon.
