Thanks for pointing that out Rebecca, it was wrong of me to assume people would know I wasn't speaking of normal vicks in the case of babies. I don't know how baby vicks is different either as I have never used either kind but I do know of people with young babies who use it and swear by it. There is also one called Euky Bearub. Your chemist should know the ins and outs of them all, if you decide to try it.
