I remember when my son was sick with a cold for the first time. His little body ached from coughing all day so I gave him a bath and got him ready for bed. Soothing him was important, I recalled what my mother did when I was sick as a child and I knew that I needed the Vicks. Opening the jar brought up memories of comfort and I knew this would help him to sleep. Thanks Vicks.

When Henry is getting sniffly and snuffly we take a warm and steamy bath to help loosen the "ucky" up. Then we rub vicks on his chest, then put him in his softest PJs. Then I do the trick my mother did--heat up a washcloth in the microwave, and place the warm cloth on his chest! The cloth keeps the Vick's off his jammies and on his chest, and the added warmth just feels so nice!

Then it's time to get into his cuddly sleep sacks and have a warm bottle. We plug in his Vick's night light, kiss him goodnight, and by the time morning comes around--he's feeling MUCH better!

When my five year old son is feeling sick, I love to give him a nice warm bath, use some vicks vapo rub cream (yes really, I'm not just saying that) get him dressed in his comfy pjs and enjoy a book or two with him to help him relax. He loves the feeling of the cream being rubbed on his chest and the books take his mind of feeling "yucky." before I know it, he's breathing easier and ready to fall asleep!
