Camphor is highly toxic.
If you place something on a baby 80% of the time it ends up in their mouth or eyes. Big problem.
Also in theory a toxic dosage can be absorbed through the skin.

I think it might be because it is too strong for them. I know that even for me if I use vapor rubs on myself it makes it hard to breathe.

Their lungs are not fully developed and you have to be very careful with what they are inhaling.
