Please do not use mineral oil on your baby.  Almond oil or olive oil is much better.

 

Old fashioned vicks is fine also to rub into her chest and a small dab under her nose.

 

You can also use a vaporizer with Eucalyptus oil at night in her room to help her breath better at night.

Sorry about not being more clear on the subject.

 

A carrier oil that you can use is mineral oil or you can use vaseline, you want about 1/2 cup of oil or a trial size container of vaseline and add 3 drops of eucalyptus oil, lavender oil, or rosemary oil. Rub it on the chest, not directly under the nose.

 

You can also use the oil in a diffuser of vaporizer, just add a few drops with the water.
