Babies, Toddlers and Children and Essential Oils - Cautions

Baby massage is one of the most effective ways to soothe and communicate with a new baby. It helps relax and calm baby's nervous system and may also strengthen baby's respiratory, circulatory, and gastrointestinal functions. In a study done at the University of Miami's Touch Research Institute, twenty premature babies who were massaged for fifteen minutes, three times a day for two weeks, gained 47% more weight and were released six days earlier than babies who were not massaged.

Care for your baby with all natural healing products you can make yourself, rather than synthetic chemical compounds.  Your baby deserves the best. Would you prefer to use commercial, chemically laden baby care products, or nature's own pure and natural essential oils and pure carrier oils, etc?
Babies and children have an especially sensitive sense of smell.  It takes only six weeks for babies to recognize their mother's scent and distinguish between their mother's and someone else's undershirt.  Fragrance may be the first secret love bond of life, connecting mother and child in a wonderful way.
There are many synthetic oils on the market.  Do not use synthetic oils on babies, children or any other person.
Babies usually love the fragrances of tangerine, orange, Roman Chamomile.  Slightly older children love lemon, orange, and oils with a flowery scent, diluted.

Head & Body Wash
First of all, newborn babies seldom get dirty. (This will definitely change in the future, but for now, how much mud and dirt do they come in contact with?)
If the new mother does decide that a "soap and water" bath is appropriate, it is suggested that you use Head and Body Wash which has natural ingredients and free of carcinogens, toxins, contaminates and other potentially harmful ingredients.  You can add 1-2 drops of Lavender/Chamomile Essential Oil Blend to the bath gel for a relaxing bath
This luxuriously soft and mild foaming cleanser will not irritate your child's skin and eyes.  It uniquely features ingredients derived from natural olive oil and oats.  This preservative-free formula cleans gently from head to toe and is mild enough for infants, leaving both the hair and the body clean and refreshed.

Aromatic Baby Oil
Most commercial baby oils are petroleum by products. When our babies need massaging, or need baby oil for any reason, we recommend our Mixing Oil, with 4 drops of lavender/Chamomile Blend per ounce of carrier.
This is a wonderfully soothing blend for the days that baby just can't settle down. Babies love massages, from the toes, massage her tiny feet, gently up her legs, gently, clockwise around her tummy, and then, laying her on her tummy (preferably across your lap) gentle strokes up her back. The soothing oils, and the touch of your gentle hands should have your baby peacefully sleeping in no time.  Why is Mineral Oil Harmful?
Herbal Baby Oil (extra gentle)
14 drops of lavender/Chamomile Blend, 4 oz Mixing Oil.  Use  as a massage or in a bath.

Aromatic Baby Powder
For baby powder, you can easily make your own, out of a blend of cornstarch, arrowroot powder, and white cosmetic clay. You may add a few drops of lavender essential oil.  Sprinkle the few drops it will take over the mixture of 'powders' and blend in with your finger tips, then sift well.
If your baby has a red, angry diaper rash, it could very well be a yeast rash. If so, please don't use the cornstarch it can feed the yeast. A powder made of white cosmetic clay, with a few drops of lavender essential oil blended in should sooth the sore bottom and help heal the rash
NEW Generation Baby Powder
Purisorb is a hygienic powder that naturally soothes your child's skin, making it feel silky and smooth. The baby powder is absolutely free of talc -- a dangerous ingredient associated with various cellular and respiratory problems that has been linked to ovarian cancer in animal tests on some mammals.  Using tapioca, aloe, Vitamin E, and chitosan, New Generation Baby Powder is a powerful but safe moisture absorber that also softens the skin and soothes irritated or sensitive areas.

Other Suggested uses for Chamomile Essential Oil
  • For children who are having difficulty sleeping, including waking up at night, nightmares or fearfulness, you can diffuse chamomile in the bedroom.
  • Chamomile is wonderful to use during pregnancy because it's so relaxing and pain-relieving.
  • For expectant mothers, a relaxing chamomile oil massage works wonders, especially on the lower back, abdomen and on the muscles of the thighs where the weight of the baby pulls.
  • Chamomile is a standard remedy for babies' colic.  
  • For a very young baby who is teething, you can put 1 drop of Chamomile  oil in 1/8 cup ice-cold water.  Stir very well, dip in a pure cotton ball, squeeze out, and gently rub on baby's gums.
