[Everything doTERRA] Re: Oils and Infants

I agree with Shanna and Jan,

 

I have a few other infant tips that I used for my kids:

 

I used lavender on the feet to help my infants sleep (1 drop lavender, 1 drop carrier) put socks on or have them in a onesie so they can’t touch their feet.

 

I used the same ratio to rub on my infants back & feet to help with fever, for a high fever, I reapplied 3-4 times and kept checking their temp in case it didn’t reduce their fever. I even massaged their legs with this blend when they really aren’t feeling well.

 

I diffused oils in their nursery, if you are using the lotus diffuser that is wonderful (my 1^st choice) 1 drop of orange and 1 drop of lavender to help them sleep or 2 drops of serenity.  If your infant has a cold 1 drop breathe and 1 drop balance oil diffused.

 

I took a roll on bottle (like for lipgloss or perfume from www.aromatools.com) a fill with fractionated coconut oil and onguard to roll on their feet (put socks on after) to help them get over colds and help their immune systems.

 

Teething – 3 drops doTERRA fractionated coconut oil w/ 1 drop doTERRA clove oil gently applied on the gums. Test a little spot, see how your infant does then continue, but make sure you diluted with FCO.

Put the oils on the bottom of the feet and then place socks on them to reduce the risk of getting them in their eyes.  If your infant does get EO in the eyes, or any where on the body where they show a sensitivity (pink-red skin) then use a carrier oil (coconut, almond, vegt, grapeseed, olive, etc) to flush - it wont hurt to put the carrier oil in the eyes, and it will bring relief - Ive done it  a few times.  They really do well with the socks on their feet.  Also, if you need to use oils on the chest for lung congestion then you can place a shirt over the chest afterwards and that will reduce the risks.  They do very well with the oils.  Because they are potent, little is needed.  If they get a fever, use the oils often to reduce it - even every hour.  Make sure they are hydrated well or their fever will remain, otherwise it will gradually come down.  Hope that helps!

So I am relatively new to doTERRA but I was wondering the best way to
use the oils on infants? Any sort of advice is welcome.
