Can you add a menthol drop to this (like vicks) to sooth baby also

According to the directions in the instruction booklet, you must not use any drops or anything other than clean water in the humidifier. You also must not stick something in the opening where the mist comes out.

Yes, you can. I would dissolve it in water first, then add it to the water you fill it with.

Yes! That's how we give our baby these drops - into a bottle of breast milk, or sometimes a drop on the nipple. Either way seems to work.

Yes. I did, just be careful not to add too much, seemed to make the consistency a little thinner. They also have a variety pack of 3 that already have essential oils in them. I just ordered w/essential oils, haven't received them yet.

I dont see how you could, unless you pour the oil on the "pad" that goes into the unit, however, i would check with Vicks. Call their customer service hotline (800-362-1683) and ask them. I personally did not like this item. It did nothing for me. I had to hold it right under my nose (laid it on my chest) and was able to get smell it a little. I would not recommend this item at all. But good luck with it if you try it :)

I don't see why not but it might not be as effective. Some thoughts from me.....I have fed 4 babies with formula and have mixed other vitamins and such with it. Sometimes the mixture will cause a breakdown of the milk if you try to save the unused portion (not saying that the Gripe Water will do that). If your baby won't take it from the dropper which would be a normal baby behavior try just putting a dose into a bottle with 1/2 oz and feed them that before giving them the full meal. That works for me almost always w/o fail on all meds, vitamins, etc. Good luck! Colic is a tough trial.........I swear by giving a Chiropractor a shot!! May take 3 or 4 trips but the sanity for you and the relief for baby!!!!!!! :-)

I doubt it. I haven't used this yet but the Vicks doesn't. Your mouth and nose receive all the moisture.

I pumped but you could hand express and mix and either cup feed or syringe feed. It's such a small amount you could mix with water too. If baby is on solids you could mix with that too.

I do a full dropper in a shot glass with water or juice. I also do the same amount with astragalus. Sometimes I mux them together with the juice and drink it or jut the lemon balm fu dropper in a cup of tea

Yea, that'll work. For flavor, I mix with herbal tea, but honey or something is fine too

Sure, I don't see why not. I prefer it plain, but then I drink almost all of my teas (hot and cold) plain. You may want to stay away from adding milk if your baby has any issues with dairy proteins.

Yes you can but the Peppermint oils is a very strong oil so start only at one or two drops.

yes... just make sure to run some clean water through the machine afterwards to keep clean ....I used Vicks- vapor steam (cough suppressant) mixed in my water and the vapor of steam... it worked great.

Yes with water. I fill water level, then drop essential oil in and turn on. It infuses and disperses in a vapor form. I have used a variety of essential oils with no problem.

No, it has a drop-type plug in the top. You turn the bottle over and the essential oil comes out one drop at a time, making it easy to count how many drops you are using. With lavender essential oil, for example, you would probably want to limit yourself to 2 drops mixed with a carrier oil (olive oil, jojoba oil, almond oil, coconut oil) and rub that on the bottom of your feet before bed. More lavender than that would excite your nervous system, not relax it.You can also measure out the drops if you are putting the oil into a diffuser. I don't use one so I can't help with how many drops to use there.Hope this helps! No, it has a drop-type plug in the top.

I can't guarantee it, but I don't see why not. The way it works is, there's a little vibrating pad inside the unit that turns water into vapor. You can have the vapor be hot or cold. Anything added to the water (like the Vicks) should get vaporized too.

You should be able to but I would check with your doctor or the baby's pediatrician.

mix it in with pumped breastmilk or some water and give in a bottle or a dropper like the kind you use for baby tylenol, etc
