My mom sent me this link which provided some good ideas for how to relieve congestion in infants. Yesterday I went to Debra’s Natural Gourmet in Concord to pick up some eucalyptus essential oil and I also grabbed some warming rub which came recommended by the saleswoman in the store. Last night before putting Noah to bed we turned the shower on full blast and dropped some of the eucalyptus oil into the tub, and we all sat in the bathroom inhaling the steam for about 10 minutes. Then we applied some of the rub to Noah’s chest and back. Not sure if it was the steam, the rub, or a combination of both, but Noah only woke up once last night around 12:45AM! He ate and then went back down relatively easily until around 8AM. He definitely wasn’t as angry or pitiful sounding as the previous night so either the above works or his cold is getting better. Thanks for the link, grandma!
