I've never tried the onions but I've been told the same thing! I've used baby Vicks in the past with my older 3 when they were babies. Put it on the bottom of their feet, cotton socks on and in their sleeper. Rub a little on the their back as well. It worked very well for my kids. Also sitting in the bathroom with the shower running on hot works. Some eucalyptus, or peppermint oil on the end of the shower without the drain while running.

no more than 24 hours. definitely put a barrier between the garlic and skin, u can burn the foot!
