I would be very hesitant to recommend any product with camphor or phenol in an infant. Camphor when given in excess causes severe almost untreatable convulsive seizures as well as significant GI irritation. Campho-Phenique has 10.8% camphor, that is 10.8 gm / 100 cc. Toxic doses generally start at about 25-50 mg/kg. Just a few mL over a short period of time could prove very fatal. Camphor has no place in nursery. Phenol, likewise, is very damaging to mucous membranes when repeatedly used. It is simply to dangerous to use in infants. *********************************** T.W.
