congested baby=exhausted momma!

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months
My 4.5 month old DD is so congested and I've tried everything I can think of! Inclined sleeping, humidifier, Vick's, saline spray, nasal aspirator. Even found some Hyland's cold tablets, and a natural cough syrup safe for ages 2 months & up. Anything I'm not thinking of? These things are helping some....but we need to kick this cold to the curb!

Sincerely, 
one exhausted momma!

    Watkins medicated ointment on her feet (under socks or a sleeper with socks). This works wonders on me as an adult and my mom swore by it when I was congested as a baby and child.

    I think the Olba's oil I've been using is probably a lot like the Watkins ointment! :)

    I've done the shower steam the last couple nights and it does seem to help, temporarily anyway. And I have the nosefrieda, love it! :)

    Everything everyone else mentioned, but I use vicks on the bottom of the feet. I have heard about putting water & vicks in a scentscy warmer. Its supposed to do wonders! I think you are doing a great job. Just takes time!
