My 16-day old baby has a cold, i'm breastfeeding him. i applied vicks vapor rub on his feet, will it harm him?

Neonate: This will probably not do your baby any harm, but cannot find definitive articles on the issue. My advice would be to not give your newborn anything that you are not absolutely sure will not harm them before checking with your doctor. Good luck,
