When it comes to the newborn human, there are some really good reasons to educate yourself and exercise caution. This has everything to do with using the purest, most potent essential oils you can buy- it makes them more concentrated, therapeutic AND powerful.

There is no doubt- we all want the best for our babies and you can make some really positive choices by reading the labels of the numerous baby products and samples, that are too often thrown at pregnant women for free ... . Your newborn baby's immune system has to process whatever they inhale, are fed, bathed in and moisturised with- for better or worse. These everyday additives accumulate and often what is more important is what you take out of the equation.

In view of this- I know I would much rather a drop of therapeutic grade lavender in half a cup of mag chloride for my baby's bath, or in half a cup of carrier oil as a lotion, than using a bottle of petroleum-based big name chemical cocktail!

A side note- if you plan on using essential oils on yourself, it is wise to apply to areas where the baby is not likely to be exposed or able to potentially get it on their hands as they tend to put their hands in the mouth and eyes. If breastfeeding, keep oils away from your chest area- the best place for application is down your spine! short prom selections specially for petite girls
