Whether Vicks Vapopads is safe for babies or not depends on the age of your baby. If your baby is below the age of 2, it is possible that using Vicks Vapopads might not be safe for him or her. This is because babies are more sensitive and the ingredients used in these vapopads such as menthol or eucalyptus might be too strong for them. Instead of providing relief, these vapopads may worsen the situation and cause side effects such as irritation of the airways, difficulty in breathing, or an allergic reaction.
