Select the safe oils for babies according to the baby’s age. • From birth to 2 months: Chamomile (both German and Roman), Lavender, Yarrow and Dill are safe essential oils. • From 2 months to 6 months old: Adding to those already listed, you can also include Coriander, Neroli and Mandarin essential oils. • From 6 – 12 months old: Gradually add Grapefruit, Aniseed, Tea Tree and Calendula essential oils. • Be aware of how to use the oils safely and in what quantities. Always follow reputable instructions and always have a trusted recipe at hand. • Decide how you wish to use essential oils with your baby. There are some suggestions offered under “Tips” for starters. It is a great idea to do some research during pregnancy for suitable remedies for baby ailments and soothing. Do not ever use eucalyptus or wintergreen on any child under 2 years of age. They can be lethal.
