Re: chest congestion in babies
Theres a lovely infant bath product called Vapor bath, it has the eucalyptus scent and really helps loosen up the mucous. Steam and those vapor plug-ins help too.
when my boyz were infants and got sick, my sister (a pediatric RN) showed me how to do "cupping", its really just holding baby upright and burping him. The light pounding on their back loosens the mucous even more and helps them to cough it up and out.
Hope the little one is better soon!
