How to Put Snufflebabe on a Baby's Feet
Snufflebabe is a vapor rub made from eucalyptus oil, menthol and thyme oil that is widely available in the United Kingdom. It's a natural method to relieve stuffy noses and congestion. Though there has not been conclusive research attesting to the fact that putting a vapor rub on a baby's feet can reduce coughing, Snopes.com -- a leading site dispelling urban legends -- states that there is some anecdotal evidence that it can work. Help your little one sleep through the night by putting Snufflebabe on her feet.
Things You'll Need
- Snufflebabe
- Baby socks
- Pajamas with feet
- Tissue (optional)
Instructions
Open the Snufflebabe tub and scoop a generous amount of the rub onto your finger. If you don't want to get your fingers messy, use a tissue. Spread the rub over your baby's foot. You want a thick layer. Place a sock over the foot that has Snufflebabe on it. Repeat steps two and three with the other foot. Put your baby's pajamas on her. Choose pajamas that have built-in feet, which will prevent your baby from removing the socks and creating a mess in her crib or bed.
