Is it safe to use lavander oil on my 18 month old son to help with restlessness ? if so , do i need to delute it and where to i apply it ?

Not recommended: I do not recommend using lavender oil on your 18 mo old. Side effects are rare, but have been reported. There are some baby lotions and bath products with lavender that would be safe and may be helpful. I personally believe the babies are more calmed by the massage with the lotion and the warm bath! i would also look into the cause of his restlessness. Getting enough sleep? Something else going on.
