  Ya, that only worked for us when DD was really little and practically immobile. Now, we just keep a humidifier going, constantly use a nasal aspirator and hope for the best.

  I have16 month old twin girls. Both are very congested right now.  Everyone tells me to incline one side of their mattress for better drainage, but am I the only ones who have kids that move all over their crib at night?  I could incline one end but by the middle of the night they will be at the bottom and not getting the help of the inclined mattress.  Am I missing something???

  This.  And I HIGHLY recommend the Nose Frida nasal aspirator.  It looks gross but works wonders on getting the mucus out.

  Nose drops, humidifier and prop one side of the crib. Have you tried it? They will usually stay head up on the elevated side because it is more comfortable.

  This! Also, I recommend Vicks on their feet with socks on. Also Vicks in their chest and backs too.

  We have a humidifier running, we use a bubble bath made by California baby for cold and flu, and we use Vicks and saline drops.

   I think it has roots in medicinal old wives tale about thoughts on circulation or systemic absorption via the feet.  A lot of cultures put weird stuff on feet or soak the feet for whole body healing purposes.

  Ha! I always thought it was on the feet with socks so LOs couldn't put it in their mouths. Now that I think of DD's flexibility, I guess that wouldn't stop a baby.

  It's witchcraft.  That's what it is.  It only works if they don't have a sore throat or dry cough but for a regular cold, works like a charm.

  That's basically it. I don't know if it works or why it would work, but I've heard it helps so I do it when I'm sick out of desperation (even though I'm a scientist and I should know better).
