Trying essential oils

[HopingFor2v1]

Has anyone used essential oils with their little ones? I just purchased quite a few oils along with a diffuser so I can start giving them a try. The main oil I'd like to use with Riley is lavender, for all it's calming benefits, but I also purchased an oil blend that helps with digestion.

I bought a few for myself with the hopes of being able to stop taking my PPD medicine, which is something I've wanted to do for a few months now.

How have you used them with your lo's? Which ones have you tried?

No I have not but I am staking to see the suggestions/experience the other ladies share.

I've used a drop of lavender in my bath, and Robyn has come in with me. I used it a lot when robyn was first born and I think it really did help the two of us (borderline PND and Bfing problems meant we had a difficult time bonding at first). I've also used a drop of tea tree oil on homemade baby wipes. But that's it.
