I didn't know about Vicks rubbed on the soles of the feet, but I do know that it can be used on babies 6 months and older!

i have heard that you should keep their socks on but not about putting Vick's vapour rub on the souls of their feet... i always put Vick's or olbas oil or karvol capsules on a hanky or tissue and put it somewhere safe around the cot or bed. hope this helps xx

I've heard of that before! You could also put it on their chest (not a lot, just enough to get the vapors going) and it will help them breath easier too! Hope I helped...

The vapor rub rub helps quiet coughing as well. Try it on yourself next time you are sick. It works well.

Kitti,
It works like a charm! We have done it as well. My grandmother let us on to this secret.
Good luck!

my mum has had five kids and she says she has never heard of anything like that and that you are not supposed to give them anything like that because they are too young for it, hope this helps
