the younger the infant, the more water to use to dillute it…but j & J does make a line of lavender baby products…they are grrreat, but nothing beats the real thing…
I would definitely make sure u are using a quality candle made of natural/organic products…and make sure the child's room is ventilated…but there's no real harm behind using the essential oil, just b sure to dillute for baby's sensitive skin,,,
my grandmother used natural remedies on us, since birth, lavender to relax, eucalyptus when we were sick, oatmeal for itchy skin, and the list goes on..
hope this helps, enjoy parenting!?!

Any of those methods will work. You can also place little sachets around the house and in babys room.

All of the ways you put are great. I give mine little baby massages after their baths. Lavendar is soo relaxing. As for what age to stop, I put lavendar oil in my five year old's water when he bathes and lotion him down ( I think JandJ makes the oil and lotion and body wash ) and he's asleep in no time. Have you smelled it?? OMG, lol it would put me to sleep!!

ask a dr before using essential oils.
