First of all she is still in postpardium so she is very hormonal and off balance plus a new baby can do a lot not only that u married for better or worse right? And if u know it bothers her for u to hug or associate with other women then don't she is ur wife first and for most and she went threw hell and back to have ur child and maybe she just wants some apprciation tell her to see a dr postpardium depression is very common and serious too also try marriage councling do everything u can before considering divorce if she wasn't like that before than apparently there is something going on that u both need to find the root of good luck don't give up it will just make ur child another statistic

I have 5 kids and believe me I have had a lot of colds to deal with. I did have a Dr, tell me that Vick's is just a room deodorizer that the moisture is what takes care of them not the smell of Vick's. If your baby does not have a fever you can bundle him up and take him outside for the fresh air and it does help, I also have a 7 year old that gets bad nasal and cough and gets treated for seasonal allergies. It could be a common cold or something worse you need to go back to the doctor (a pediatrician ) and get another opinion. best of luck to your little one. It can turn into pneumonia or bronchitis if it gets to bad.

First did they test him for RSV? my son was 20 days old with rsv and he had to be brought to the emergency room, it was only because I had a good doctor for him that they figured out that it was not just a cold. If he is having trouble breathing or weesing call your doctors emergency line or 911. If it is just a cold you can put vick's into his humidifer that helps, also you can turn on the hot water in your bathroom and close the door and sit in the steam with him, while patting his back to help loose it up. Good luck and hope he feels better soon.

Yes you can. It will not harm him at all.
And YES you can put it on his skin. INFANT VICKS
And if you can get some infant vicks to use on him that can help. To not put it too close to his face though. Don't do the under the nose thing. Stay to the chest. I would not use regular vicks on his body.
Yes use it in the humidifier.
Vicks even makes infant and toddler humidifiers.

YES! You can. I did when my daughter was that young. As long as the vicks is IN the humidifier and not applied to his skin.

Don't use a humidifier, it spews bacteria everywhere. Get a vaporizer. Vicks makes one that you can use with or without the vicks medication.

actually you should not do not put that into the humidifier that will aggrevate his cough much more . Just keep that machine going with out that stuff in it . Are you sure he did not catch the RSV Virus?Best to take him to the ER! Keep him upright for him to breath better.
good luck

i remember when my son was younger and i thought they told me he was too young for vicks but you should just call the doctor and ask them. they have special stuff to put in them for a infant.
just call the doc and ask!
