Plain water should be used only. Sit on a chair with baby on your lap. Then Place the vessel with hot water in front of your feet. Then place a large towel over yours and baby's head. You should also be under the towel along with baby to ensure that the steam is not too hot. Can be done for 10 mins, 3 times daily. Mainly helpful to clear blocked sinuses.
