Lavender Scented Lotion or Oil to help Baby Relax at Bedtime

by Angie
(Australia)

Lavender Scented Lotion or Oil is often very helpful in promoting a healthy natural sleep for both babies and their parents. Lavender has aromatherapy properties that are calming and relaxing.

By applying the lotion or oil to your little one just before bedtime, you get the benefit of the lavender itself plus the relaxing benefit of the massage that also encourages a better night's sleep.

There are different brands, of course, for you to choose from, but I would suggest that you be sure to choose a lotion or oil that is safe for baby, like the Aveeno Baby Calming Lavender & Vanilla.

If you already have a scent-free favorite lotion or oil that you prefer, you can simply add a few drops of lavender essential oil to the bottle shake it well to mix it through.

Alternatively, you can buy some carrier oil (apricot kernel oil, almond oil, etc) and mix the lavender oil into it.
