BabiesÕ skin is often sensitive and thatÕs why you have to be careful with what you apply to them. And since you are going to make use of essential oils, you need not worry much because these oils come from natural sources which mean that they are safe to use.
However, since you are dealing with babies here, it would still be important to keep in mind some tips, such as:
¥ Do not use essential oils for babies younger than 3 months old. During this stage, babies are extremely sensitive and it would still be best to check with your doctor first before applying anything on them. Lavender and Chamomile are the first two oils that you can use for babies. DonÕt use eucalyptus oil unless babies are over 2 years of age as this may be too extreme for them.
¥ Dilute the oils with water well before using so that the oils will not be too strong for the babies.
¥ Do not give them essential oils orally!
¥ You donÕt have to be an expert when it comes to massaging babies or childrenÑ
