This vapor rub for baby is very effective and safe. I use it when he has colds, I put it on his cheat before bedtime so he’ll have a goodnight sleep. I can easily see that he breaths fine and clears his nostrils. It’s very safe I use it as often as needed. It doesn’t have a very strong smell, it’s just enough for his age. It doesn’t have that much sticky feel, my baby is fine with it. I like it and my baby loves it too.
