Hello everyone!
So, I love using oils on my daughter! Even though she's only three months old, in the past several months, I've seen them really help her! I mostly just put them on her right before she goes to bed. I always use a carrier oil, coconut oil, because I don't want any of them to be to much for her sensitive skin, except for the oils that are actually made for kids, those are already diluted. There are many different oils that I use for her, and it just depends on if she's fussy, gassy, sleepy, etc. as to what we put on her at night. So here is what I use.
I personally do not like just cedarwood by itself in the diffuser, it's too much for me. It's pretty strong, so I was glad that when we put Charley in her own room, I was able to put it in the diffuser by itself to run at night. Cedarwood is commonly used for its calming effect. It has many other uses and properties, but I use it to help her sleep at night. So, I put some coconut oil on my finger tips and then put one drop of cedarwood on top, and then rub my fingers together, and then I rub it up and down her spine and on the bottoms of her feet. I also will but about 4-5 drops of cedarwood in the diffuser and have it running intermittently all night.
I love lavender! It just smells so good, and it has so many uses! I guess that's why I'm always running out of it! :) So when she was first born, I used lavender to rub on her and put it in the diffuser, then I was running low on the oil. So, I had to mix it up and start using some of my other oils. Lavender is calming, relaxing, and again it just smells so good!

Another favorite is Peace & Calming. When I first bought my Premium Starter Kit, this was the first oil that I diffused, and basically the only oil until I learned more about the other ones. It is so popular that they can't seem to keep it in stock. So, Young Living created another blend just like it called, Peace & Calming II. It's not as good as the regular one, but it still is good! So, I would also rub this on her and put it in the diffuser. I'm just giving you all that I have used and what I like to put on her. Ever since my daughter was born, she has slept pretty well, but I feel that the oils have really helped! She started sleeping about 4-5 hours straight every night, and just kept increasing from that. She now sleeps 7-9 hours straight and then an additional 2.5-3.5 hours after a feeding. We don't ever go without putting her oils on at night, it is part of her nightly routine! I assume you know what Peace & Calming helps you do! :)
So, Young Living came out with some oils that are for kids, they are already diluted with a carrier oil, and I really love them!
GeneYus is to help them focus and concentrate.
Owie is to help the improvement of their skin, like if they get an owie.
SleepyIze, you can diffuse to help promote a peaceful aromatic environment.
SniffleEase is to help rejuvenate and refresh.
TummyGize, you apply to their little belly to help calm them.
BiteBuster is not being sold at this time…
My favorites are the SleepyIze and the TummyGize. I loved smelling the SleepyIze at night in our diffuser when she was in her bassinet in our room, I guess I didn't realize how much I used because I used up the bottle so fast, and sadly that is the one that went out of stock too. I keep looking and waiting for it to be available again! I love it! I have used TummyGize when I notice that she is crying because she has really bad gas and her tummy hurts. I will either rub it on her tummy and the bottom of her feet or just her feet. I have seen it work really fast! I love it! It really helps when you have a fussy kid and there really is nothing you can do to really help them. I have bought SniffleEase, but she hasn't needed it yet because she hasn't gotten sick.
So, these are all the oils that I use on my three month old daughter right now, but I will start using more when I get them. I am buying some to help her with teething, and I will post another blog about how those help her! I do like to blend oils in the diffuser so that I'm not just using one oil because then I will run out of that oil faster. I like to blend one or two drops of each of these oils in the diffuser to diffuse at night: Peace & Calming, Lavender, and Cedarwood!
Let me know if you are interested in any of these oils! They are amazing! I really encourage anyone to use oils on their kids, you don't want to just always give them medications when they are sick and stuff. Please don't hesitate to contact me! I love my oils!
