none that i could find and logically it doesn't really add up, either.

then again, it won't do any harm...

I agree

. I come from a family of genetic asthmatics and my sis in law swears by it for my nephews, I wonder if because feet sweat it just exacerbates the amount of vapour around the baby and helps breathing clear up?

...I would take any excuse to have my feet massaged...

Let the record show that I am quite happy to change my name to Vick by deed poll, but you'd need to put the possesive apostrophe in "Vicks"...

No apostrophe, it's a brand name:

Well they do say if you have to explain it, it's not funny...

Burbage · Post by **Burbage** » 19th Jun, '08, 07:47

Satisfying myself more than anything.

Can you explain the utube thing though. That was just a lot of noise so I stopped it.

Enlightenment takes perseverence

I'm all out of perserverance.

But if I was called Vick, then the thing that would be rubbed on A's chest would be Vick's....oh, never mind....

On the other hand, A wants multiple Vicks to be rubbed on her chest.

Less chance of the baby rubbing its feet and then getting the vicks in its eyes or mouth. Chest, back and feet are the best places. Ms A, at her age I wouldn't put any under her nose

We are all much better

, except for Mr G who has a Man Cold. All suggetions that I dial 111 have been received with a big glare and then a sneeze, cough, pathetic "could you make me another lemsip" comment.

Thanks for all the good advice, much appreciated.
