Calpol plug in

I used it and turned it off after about 1 hour as it was very strong plus you can still smell it when it’s off x

I don’t keep it on all night- generally I put it on when my son goes to sleep but turn it off before I go to bed so a couple hours later. It has helped a lot and I’ve used it since he was little, he’s now 23 months.

Thank you, did you find it helped your LO after having it on for the hour?

thank you very much, I’ve heard good things about it and he’s not murmured since I put him down but I did think it smelt far too strong to be on overnight xx

We keep ours on all night, plug it in when she’s in the bath and keep the door closed then just leave it until we wake up but with the door open a little. She still sleeps in our room and it worked miracles for all 3 of us when she had bronchiolitis and when we all had colds!

It did yes. She wasn’t waking up as much and her nose seemed to be cleared. You can also pop it on for an hour or 2 just before baby goes to sleep and then switch it off as it does linger in the air.

Another good one is using Vicks over night for your baby if you find the plug in too strong. Pop some Vicks on babies vest on their back and front which also works a charm x

opening the door is a good idea, thank you so much for the advice, really hoping this helps him!xx

that’s a really good tip thank you, I have some of the snuffle babes vapour rub, do you put this on the actual vest then?xx

I used all night with my first but when I did that with my second, it gave him a nose bleed 🫣 So we only do a few hours for him - like a few others have said, it does linger and still works well 😁

@oh wow! Isn’t it bizarre how each baby is so different, I bet that was terrifying for you! Thank you for the advice xx

I do yes or you could pop it on a cotton pad and put that on top of the vest if you’re worried about staining which I’ve never had any issues with x

Also my little girl has sensitive skin so I don’t know how her skin would react to Vicks directly on the skin x

It's fine to leave on all night. You have to be able to smell it for it to work.

We've always used this and really rate it. Put it on an hour before bed and leave it on overnight and never had any issues x

I tend to turn ours off after 2/3 hours x

We’ve always left ours on overnight, find the smell kind of dies down after the first few hours. Either way I’d imagine it’ll still work. Hope LO is feeling better soon!
