[Everything doTERRA] Re: Newborn with Gas

thank you everyone. We have been using a book that talks about what
oils to use for a newborn and how to dilute and apply them. I may be
new to this but my mommy instincts were telling me that we needed to
try something different. A friend of mine found some organic gripe
water for me so we are doing that with the flaxseed oil. It's taken a
couple days but last night he finally slept deeply and without all the
fussiness. And today he has been much more happy in general.
