Lavender oil for colic?

Question

I’ve heard massaging under the belly button with lavender oil helps calm colic. Has anyone tried this? Do I need to mix the oil with something before applying to baby’s skin?

Answer

Definitely dilute first. You could also purchase something premade, like from Oilogic. But be advised that it's typically recommended that you wait until your baby is at least 3 months before using essential oils.

Answer

You can do that, or young living has its own line of oils safe for babies. Gentle baby would be great, but definitely needs a carrier oil like coconut or almond oil.
