Vicks Vapor Rub not good?

I was reading on the Super Nanny website and came across this article. I had not heard of this before - anyone else know more? I have been using the Baby Vicks on my boys

I use it on all of my kids-and I think it works. The child in the article who was brought to the ER, had the Vick's applied directly under her nose. I have never done that. It goes on their chest, then covered with their pajamas. Then I put it on their feet, and cover with socks or with the footed pjs.

 

I do the same as Meaghan. I use the Little Noses version of it but it only goes on the chest and feet and is covered by PJ's either with feet or with socks.

 

Why would someone apply it beneath their nose? Oh that poor baby!! Yup, baby vicks on the chest and bottom of the feet.

 

I use it too, but only on the chest & feet and cover with pj's or socks.
