Product overview
About Olbas for Children
The gentler Olbas for little noses: the same pure plant oils in a children's blend, whose vapour eases a blocked nose so a snuffly baby or child can feed and sleep. Nothing goes on the skin or up the nose; a drop on a tissue near the cot does the work. For babies and children from 3 months. 12ml dropper bottle.
Why an inhalant for babies
Decongestant medicines aren't licensed for babies and vapour rubs can't go on very young skin, so inhaled vapour and saline are the two tools that are. Olbas for Children delivers the vapour without contact, which makes it usable from 3 months, and it pairs well with a saline nasal spray before feeds.
How to use
Babies 3 months to 2 years: one drop on a tissue held near the nose, or placed near (not in) the cot. Children over 2: two drops on a tissue, or a few drops in a bowl of hot water for steam with an adult holding it. Can be repeated through the day and at bedtime.
Good to know
Never on the skin, bedding or pillow, and never in the nose or mouth. Not for babies under 3 months. If a baby is struggling to feed or breathe, or has a fever, see a GP or call 111. See our children's cough and cold range.

Frequently asked questions
How is it different from regular Olbas Oil?
A milder children's blend of the same oils, made for use around babies from 3 months. Regular Olbas can also be used from 3 months at one drop, but this is the gentler choice for the cot.
Can I put it on the baby's clothes?
No. On a tissue held near the nose or placed near the cot only, never on skin, clothing or bedding.
How often can I use it?
As needed through the day and at bedtime; there's no drug dose. Stop if the baby seems bothered by the vapour.
