“Don’t ask me how it works, I just know it does.” That’s what a pharmacist told me last night about something I read on the internet.

I’ve been searching for a solution to help Sean with his congestion. He’s started getting congested again a few days ago, and hasn’t been able to sleep in his crib again. I had to sleep sitting straight up with him again on Monday because if he lays down in his crib he gets immediatly stuffed up and can’t breathe. I looked on the internet and saw that Vicks makes a baby rub. I also read that if you put the vicks on the bottom of their feet and put socks on them, that it helps with congestion and coughing. Huh?

Well, I was willing to try anythign so I ran to CVS and the pharmacist there agreed. I took it home, applied it to his feet and put him to bed. He slept 4 hours, woke up briefly, went back to sleep and woke up around 1am for a bottle. Slept again, and woke up at 515am (which has become his new time to start the day…grr). So, he did wake up a bit, but was able to sleep in his crib without lots of congestion! Wow. Amazing. Don’t ask me how it works, but it did. I’m a believer.
