Organic Oils for Baby

Do you want to buy the very highest in quality when it comes essential oil products for your baby? If so then you might want to check out the high end oils at Erbavia. This is a site that is known for her its luscious concoctions. In fact, sometimes I am thinking that this stuff made out of high quality oils is too good to the kid. This line of oils smells so good that sometimes I have worn it as my perfume when I go out to a cocktail party.

Most of the oils made by this company are very practical. For instance they have a cradle cap oil that can be rubbed on your baby's scalp. It is a mild concoction of organic geranium, lemon eucalyptus and rosemary oil that smells very pleasant. It retails for about fifteen dollars per four-ounce bottle. It's purpose is to keep the soft spot on your baby's head as pliant and healthy as possible. Be careful when rubbing the oils on the baby's head though. You don't want to press to hard or massage them in too ardently of course. That is just not such a hot idea.

Another type of organic oil that is on this eco-friendly site is their brand of general baby massage oil. This is a relaxing blend of roman chamomile and mandarin oils as well as rosemary extract. It also retails for about fifteen dollars. Roman chamolile is very relaxing for both adults and children and I like to have it on while I am nursing my newborn. Roman chamomile is also very mild and it has qualities such as curing headaches and upset stomachs. The mandarin scent is supposed to be uplifting and joyous. All of the orange scents are a natural antidepressant, which is why so many people advise spraying it into children's nurseries.

One thing you should be careful of us is allergic reactions if you do decide to use aromatherapy or essential organic oils on your baby. Cease use immediately at the slightest sign of an allergic reaction. An allergic reaction to these types of oils could include symptoms such as troubled breathing, sneezing, coughing, and hives breaking out on your baby's skin or your baby's eyes watering. You should also only use oils that are diluted in plenty of oil as raw essences could burn baby's skin.

What I am saying is that you should leave the mixing of raw oils to the professionals. Raw essential oils can even be toxic to a baby. Respected companies like Erbavia make sure that the oils are generously diluted in just the right amount of carrier oils.

You should also use oil that are specifically mixed up for babies as the essential oils used in products for adults just tend to have a higher amount of the oil in it. This could burn baby's sensitive skin.

New Born Tips For Moms

Are you just welcoming a new little person into the world? Here are some tips to taking great care of this fragile little human at first.

TIP #1 – If your baby is not properly latching on your nipple to suckle then there is no point in wasting any time. Take yourself and the child immediately to a lactation consultant. These are staff members in hospitals who can show you how to get the baby to latch onto your nipple properly. Don't wait for the baby to 'get it' as the baby can become fatigued; lose weight and even face life-threatening conditions if you do not get him or her latched on immediately.

TIP #2 – While nursing most mothers find it most comfortable to put pillows behind the small of her back and behind her shoulders if she is sitting. If she is sitting up in bed it helps to put pillows under your knees and one in your lap (to help bring the baby up to the level of your chest.

TIP #3 – To raise a happy baby consider carrying him with you in a sling and carrying him or her with you wherever you go. Studies have shown that babies who are constantly carried are less fussy

TIP#4 – To keep your baby happy while you are during other things like preparing dinner or cleaning the house put him or her in a swing. Some newer swings even oscillate in a circular motion rather than the traditional back and forth motion. It’s best to borrow a swing or try one out on your baby at the store to avoid investing in something that your baby

TIP #5 – If your baby seems really fussy or anxious then try touching him or her more. Try gently massaging all parts of your infant's body including the toes, fingers, bellies and ears. This can help relax and soothe the child.

TIP #6 – If you are dealing with a really distressed or panicky newborn then try nursing him or her while sitting in the bathtub. Place the baby in direct contact with your naked skin as you lie in a warm bath and nurse him or her. This is sure to calm down even the most hysterical of screaming infants.

TIP #7 – No matter how irritating it is to you recognizing that your baby's crying is an attempt to communicate to you. It is never an attempt to torture you or to be bad. Whatever you do you should never let a baby 'cry it out' as that is psychologically damaging to the child. Never punish a child or treat it harshly for crying.

TIP #8 – This tip is for new Mom's who often feel burnt out. It is very invigorating for both you and the baby to take a walk every now and then to get some air and also relieve feelings of depression or anxiety. Studies have shown that walking briskly every day for a minimum of forty-five minutes can help alleviate the symptoms of post partum depression.
