I know one of the first questions I asked when getting started with oils was, “are they safe to use with and around my babies?” The simple answer is YES. Oils are plants. I would MUCH rather be using plant based oils and products on and around my babes than half the stuff you can find at the drugstore! You do NOT need to be scared to introduce oils to your babies, but here is a general guideline to follow when it comes to using them. Be sure to look into our Seedlings + Kidscents line as well- they are formulated especially for littles and are a great place to start with ditching + switching! When you place your first order, I recommend selecting “create a loyalty order” to qualify for additional perks + discounts, including a FREE diffuser with your second monthly order! (this is totally optional and free to edit, cancel, or begin at any time).

I highly recommend the book, Gentle Babies, which can be found on amazon here: Gentle Babies Book

Another great resource is this FB group (use the search bar in here to look up topics you have questions about such as “breastfeeding” “peppermint” “heartburn” etc): Betsy Bosom for Oils, Pregnancy, and Nursing Moms

How can you use oils around your kids?
• Diffuse!
• Put a few drops in your kids’ hands, have them cup their nose, and slowly inhale while taking slow, deep breaths.
• Apply to their wrists, back of the neck, and along the spine for an aromatic boost throughout the day.
• Apply a few drops to their diffuser jewelry of choice.
• Add 2-3 drops to cotton balls and place them around your home.
• Make a linen spray or bedroom mist by mixing essential oils and water in a glass spray bottle.
• Apply oils to their feet or put a few drops in their sock and shoes.

Using ENDOFLEX for those toddler tantrums:

Your hormones won't be available to the body to be used correctly without a properly functioning endocrine system.

A stressed endocrine system, mainly the adrenals, triggers fight or flight mode (aka tantrums).

The adrenal glands are the hormone gatekeepers and decide how much of each hormone we need. If they are stressed they will let out too much of one or not enough of another.

ENDOFLEX helps to balance these hormones, hence why we use it as our tantrum buster. Just roll on forearms or arches of your kiddos’ feet
