Olbas oil newborn question

Short version of potentially stupid question: Is olbas oil safe to be around newborn but not used on him?

Myself, 7 year old and 2 week old all have a cold. I've brought olbas oil bath for myself and 7yo. It says on the bottle safe for 3 years and up, newborn goes in his bouncy chair in the bathroom while I have a bath, is it safe for him to breathe it in in the bathroom?

Forgot how much you overthink everything in the early days. Thank you.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

You can buy johnsons baby vapour bath, it smells like vapour rub, i assume olbus oil is ok but maybe use the kids olbus oil xx
