A baby's skin is very delicate, so essential oils should be diluted when used. Oils like lavender, peppermint, and Roman chamomile are commonly used with babies. Specific oils can be used to help with issues like colds, colic, congestion, constipation, coughs, cradle cap, diaper rash, diarrhea, ear infections, fever, fussiness, and teething when diluted and applied properly to the skin or diffused. Only therapeutic-grade essential oils should be used for safety.
