I think snuffle babe is hard to get here. Can get in UK so maybe get someone to post it out for you? Be really light. Sure you can use from 3 months. You can also get olbas oil for children which may be suitable from 3 or 6 months so totally fine for your Lo. I used to take mine into shoerroom and steam for a while, humidifier would help too. There's also karvol plug ons that might help or try raisin.g her mattress slightly but if she's a.trying like mine with moving around may not really work Hth

Thanks Green-ish, my daughter is alomst 12 months old. I was assured by a pharmacist in the UK snuffle baby would be fine for her. I've tried olbas oil but find it a bit harsh on my nostrils let alone hers? Just wondered if anyone had seen the rub in the pharmacy? Sorry...I didn't realise "snuffle baby" was a brand name. I thought you had a snuffly baby. ;) Straight Olbas oil is very strong, that's why I use the bowl of hot water or humidifier. :) Saline does work wonders and no questions there about safety. I hope you find something you are happy to use.

there are two types of Vicks, one for babies (I think it doesn't have camphor??) and another for the rest of us.

How old is your little one? Some of those preparations are not recommended for really little babies. The most readily available and brilliant is Olbas Oil (at all pharmacies)...I used to put it in a bowl of hot water near the cot when the babies were tiny, then occasionally put just a few drops on their sheet or pj's once they were over 12 months. Olbas Oil is also brilliant in a humidifier (if the machine can take oils) or in a Goodsphere. ETA: Plain saline drops (also at all pharmacies) is the safest way to clear little nasal passages. <em>edited by Green-ish on 28/02/2012</em>
