Rubbing Vicks On The Soles Of Feet (Part 2)

Well, i did it again last night. This time, I applied the Vicks just before Alycia went to bed, even before she started to cough and I rubbed small blobs on her back, chest, under her nostrils and of course big blobs of Vicks on the soles of her feet . It was miraculous!!! Alycia fell sound asleep within minutes and soundlessly too all through the night without a sound of cough. I had to wake her up at 9am this morning for her milk and after finishing off her milk, went back to sleep and only woke up at 10.

Well, I'm still still not 100% convinced that Vicks really did the trick. I think it was more of a combined effect of the extra strength Manuka Honey UMF20+ (twice a day) and also sleeping without the air-cond.



This picture was taken this morning with Alycia still in her Vicks covered socks.

Good to hear that she is better. Sleeping without aircond does help.

Mum to chumsy.... my paed kept advising us to stay our gals away from air cond coz that will weaken their already weak immune system.

Hey, I totally agree with Mama Bok! Whatever works!

Tonite, as usual, after putting Tee into bed, she is thirsty. But only wants barley today. Barley, barley, barley! Barley sudah habis. So the Hubs asked her if she'd like some Vodka instead. Unfortunately she said "NO!" :-P
