Tips & Warnings

• The aromatherapy massage oil can be used before bed to help with sleep, after a bath to moisturize the skin or any other time when your baby needs a calming experience.
• Store your aromatherapy massage oil in a cool dark place. This will help keep the oils from going bad before you can use all of it. If the oils start to smell bad, throw them away and make a new batch.
• Use a very small amount of essential oil for a baby, compared to what you may use for yourself, even if it doesn't smell very strong to you.
• After using the single oils on your baby you can mix the two essential oils as long as the total drops added is still 10.
• If your baby gets a rash from the use of the aromatherapy massage oil-discontinue use.
• If your baby gets a rash from one of the essential oils try another one after the rash clears up, If a new rash appears discontinue use.
