Is the formula for Lee's Save the Baby (liquid in the glass bottle NOT the rub on salve) patent protected, does anyone know how to obtain the formula
Ms Laura, I'm checking to see if you still know where to find bottles of Save the baby? I would be interested in finding it for my grandson who suffers from Ashma and I know it works because I have tried it on my children who used to have Ashma and it cured them
I have a old bottle of save the baby. Small clear bottle with a red cap. Still half full of white thick almost liquid. Labels in tact and legible.
My mother used it on me and my sister back in the 60's. It works. I loved it. Wished i could have found it in the 80's to use with my children. FDA--get out of the way and approve thus formula. Let's bring it back. Lee's Save The Baby Oil.
Anymore specific on how to make your own and what percentages of other ingredients?
Where can we find the Save The Baby at?
Found your post from 2013 and wondered if you still have the two bottles of Save the Baby? I've been looking for it for 40 years. That was about the time my kids left home! LOL
Are you willing to share your mothers recipe ? Please
If you can't find it in a drugstore, try Ely Drugs Medical Supply on the web
petroleum, camphor, oregano, rosemary and balsam oils
My mother always had it on hand, and I still keep a jar at home-IT WORKS
Sorry for your lost. Do you still have the Dave the baby medicine?
Brian, I just came upon these posts. I, too, have two remaining bottles of Save the Baby and have tried for years to find out if it is still being made in the liquid form. Do you know the name of the company the formula was sold to in Canada and would you happen to know if they still make the liquid form. We never took it orally, but it was wonderful rubbed on our chests and a little bit put under our noses and on our pillowcase. Thank you.
The Original save the baby had balsam, camphor, rosemary, oregano, and petrolatum. Camphor can be toxic because while it may not kill you it can ulcerate the stomach. My mother used a mixture aloe of juice balsam,Licorice root, rosemary, oregano, Sage, licorice and mullein flowers. She would make a reduction of everything but the aloe. Strain it out and add it to twice the amount of Aloe juice. Shake very well before use. Two tblspoons with sugar or honey. I am from Maine and as a child I experienced both my family's recipe as well as Save the Baby. They both taste awful and work equally well. I am now an adult as well as a practicing Herbalist and honestly, the risks of orally ingesting camphor outway the benefits. If you feel that camphor needs to be present I recommend that you get the STB chest rub and use it in conjunction with an oral remedy.
I remember taking the bottle to college with me in 1971 just in case I needed it and sure enough, when I got chest congestion, it saved me from going to the doctor or missing classes. I just rubbed it on my chest and it did the trick. I so wish I had the recipe as I would make it for my family now. If anyone finds the recipe or can take their bottle for analysis, we would all appreciate it.
I am trying to find a bottle of liquid save the baby. Does anyone know where to get the liquid form?
I grew up in Hoosick Falls NY and I believe Save The Baby was manufactured in a garage style building at the foot of High St in Hoosick Falls.
Mrs S,
Do you still have the box of Save a Baby, the one with directions?
i too lived in watervliet and have indeed witnessed first hand the powers of this wonderful thing.at 54 yrs it has helped many times,not only for the humans in our and more than a few friends families but a few four legged members as well.lees was and still is a staple in my family
My mother always gave it to us same way warmed with sugar and then she would rub on our chest and put a warm towel I am 40 now and perfectly fine. I wish I had it for my kids.
Hi, Do you still have the Save the Baby medicine? Is it
liquid or the rub ?
Thanks! I use paypal and could pay you that way.

My mother grew up in Troy NY. She passed away in December at age 86. In her medicine cabinet I found 2 partly used bottles of Save the Baby. Both are in boxes. One has the set of directions. Interested?
