How to Use Essential Oils for Babies

 
 
 
 

Man oh man ... what I wouldn't have given to have these oils when my kids were babies. What a game changer!

I have given the oils I'm going to recommend to you today, as a Baby Shower gift, & to my friends who are new moms. They’re so helpful! There's so many medications little ones can't have (& you should always talk to your Pediatrician), but essential oils are gentle & extremely effective. 

Did you know that the majority of pharmaceuticals on the market today are derived from plants? Pharmaceutical companies can't patent a plant, so they try to copy the plant in a lab, which is why those pharmaceuticals all have side effects.

Essential oils are gentle, effective, & don't have the side effects of pharmaceuticals.

It's very important to heavily dilute oils when applying to babies especially. Here's a helpful dilution chart so you know about how much to use…

 
 
 
 

Top Oils for Baby

Boost immune system:

OnGuard (protective blend):

Diffuse 4-6 drops in the home daily to keep baby's immune system high. Dilute heavily with fractionated coconut oil & rub a dab onto feet once a day for immune boost.

Frankincense:

 Rub a drop into baby's spine nightly for full-body cellular support.

Lemon:

 Use as gentle sanitizer on your hands & on commonly used objects.

Healthy tummy:

DigestZen (Digestive Blend):

Massage 1 drop DigestZen diluted with 1 Tbsp fractionated coconut oil on baby's tummy to calm digestive trouble (diarrhea, constipation, & tummy ache). This is often the cause of dreaded colic! Sweet relief.

Bergamot:

 Rub a drop on bottoms of baby's feet 1-2 times a day to stimulate healthy digestive function.

PB Assist Jr. (Children's Probiotic):

 Dissolve 1/2 sachet into baby's bottle once a day to improve immune system at the gut level (do not heat).

Happy skin + bums:

Lavender & Roman Chamomile: Combine a drop of each with 1 Tbsp fractionated coconut oil, & rub onto baby's bum 2-3x daily. Also combine a drop of each into doTERRA's unscented body lotion to soothe baby's skin.

Better sleep:

 

Peaceful mood:

Lavender & Wild Orange:

Let baby breathe a drop of each from your hands to soothe crying.

Peace (Reassuring Blend):

Diffuse 4-6 drops Peace in baby's room to calm baby's temper.

Clean + safe environment:

Purify (Cleansing Blend):

Diffuse 4-6 drops to cleanse impurities from the air.

Lemon & OnGuard (Protective Blend):

Combine several drops of each with water & a Tbsp rubbing alcohol in a glass spray bottle to make a natural sanitizing surface cleaner.
