Zarbees all- natural cough syrup? Has anyone used this?

Ds (11 mos) has been congested, with a cough and runny nose for about a week and my step-mom bought Zarbees All-Natural Cough syrup. It has honey so it's not for kids under 1 but has anyone used this? I would ask the ped before giving ds anything but I'm just wondering if other moms have tried it. It was supposedly on The Doctors tv show

My Ped recommended it for a cough but it didn't do anything for DD.... would try it again, though, if she has a cough, it gets such great reviews.

We use it all the time, but I don't think it works. But I do it anyway, because sometimes it's ho hard to listen to DS cough.

We've been using it (the night time one- I'm hoping it's ok b/c it has a little bit of melatonin in it which is supposed to be helpful for sleeping.). I'm not sure how much it helps, but I think DS thinks it works. He's 3 though. And now we have the problem that when he goes to bed he tells us he's sick b/c he wants some.

Before that we'd just give him regular honey- I think maybe the honey does soothe his throat a little.

I actually bought the night time one this past Friday & started giving it to DS. Lets just say, Thursday night he woke up gagging & coughing on phlegm from post nasal drip. Every night since giving this cough syrup, no waking/gagging/coughing at night.
DS is 5 1/2 yrs old

It has melatonin which has helped him mellow out at bedtime.

Yes! I actually just used it for the first time on Sunday night. DD (9 months) was coughing all night so finally I gave it to her. It was magic! Worked right away and she fell asleep. She didnt cough again for hours. Love this stuff!

Didn't do a darn thing for DS!!

I use it for DS and I feel like it helps. I only bought the daytime one, maybe I should get him the night time one!

I just used it for the the first time last week for my 14 month old. Never heard of it before, but we took him to PM Pediatrics and the doctor highly recommended it. It worked great for him! His cough had been interfering with his sleep, and we gave him a dose right before bed and he didn't cough once that night!

Our ped recommended this. I find it works for my older son, but not really for my daughter. Someone said pure honey works better. Never tried it though

Re: Zarbees all- natural cough syrup? Has anyone used this?

Yes.
I think it helps soothe the throat that's about it
It's just honey
Don't use it on babies under a year though- honey is a no no under 1 year old

It helped us a lot on both my 1 and 3 year old. We only have the day time formula as Walgreens was out of the night stuff.

Worked well on my DS. He coughs a little right after we give it to him but that's it. the day formula, but we give it to him at night too.
