27 weeks, baby #1 Vic's VapoRub???

OMG, I just read another post that inhaling menthol is bad... My husband sleeps with vics on his face every night and then cuddles with me at night... Is that bad?

Never heard this before. My son has asthma and i was told to never use it near him. It makes it worse.

But if youre super worried i would just call your doctors office and ask over the phone theyll tell you. But what i read is that you can use it
