How does the nightlight on this product work?
The Calpol Vapour Plug also works as a nightlight, which many children use for comfort as they grow up, and many parents use to help them to navigate their child’s room without waking them.

When the light comes back on in the morning, the night light will switch off again automatically.

Each refill of this vapour plug will last for 8 hours, helping your little one to breathe more easily all night long. Replacing the refill pads is quick and easy to do, so you can get this product plugged in and ready to make your child feel more comfortable as quickly as possible.

How to use the Calpol Vapour Plug
The Calpol Vapour Plug is really easy to use, just plug it in and use it for up to 8 hours. When you need to change over the vapour pad, cut across the top of the foil pouch and expose the pad, slide the pad into the vapour plug. When you insert a fresh pad, the old one will be pushed out of the other side so you can dispose of it. Always avoid touching pads directly and wash hands after replacing the pads.

Can I use the plug in in my sons room as he has his guinea pig in there and I’m worried it may effect his guinea pig
I wouldn't recommend on using the plug whilst there is an animal in the room. I would suggest moving the guinea pig for the duration whilst using the plug.
Why can’t this product be used for babies under 3 months? Mine is 7 weeks old and in desperate need of something like this!
Hello, unfortunately, this product is not suitable for a 7-week-old.
Very young infants can be sensitive to essential oils, so it's best to follow the manufacturer's instructions and only start using it when they're 3 months or older.
In the meantime, you may wish to consider using a saline nasal spray instead.
Saline sprays and drops are suitable to use from birth and are a gentle way to clear up a congested nose, so you might want to try using it before bedtime to help your child sleep comfortably.
