FYI: Some may know this but there may be some that don't. If you have a baby that is congested I have found that the BEST way to get that stuff out is to 1) go into the bathroom with it steaming and after 2) Lay them on their tummy for 10mins+...yes they will fuss...but everytime I do it with Jacob he lets out so much! Even more than the suction will get out..

Oh yeah the steamy showers work GREAT for little stuffy noses. We also have a humidifier that I plug in whenever Ellie seems to get kinda stuffy or sick. It works just as well, and you dont get as hot :giggle

I like to use Baby Vicks Vaporub. :)

I also use those Baby Sudacare plug-ins.
