POST #1: WELCOME
Welcome, friends! We are so excited to have you join us for this class all about how we can support our sweet babes with the best toxin-free products and essential oils out there!
Really quickly — we’re not doctors or medical professionals. We’re not claiming that any of these products can heal, cure, or treat any diseases. We always recommend consulting your doctor before adding in new things!
That being said, we can’t wait to cover some of our favorite products and DIYs that we use in our homes to support our babies!!
Let’s get started!
Any mamas of oily babes out there?!
POST #2: SAFELY OILING OUR BABES
The number one most important thing we can say about safely oiling our little ones is that you have to do what you are comfortable with, momma!! We’re going to talk about oil ratios when it comes to sweet babes, but I just have to start by saying that you are the momma, and you know what is best for your little one! So always follow that mother’s intuition of yours when it comes to using oils on and around your babies!
So, let’s talk a little more about oil safety!
Young Living suggests 1/8 of the labeled concentration of all oils on babies ages 0-1. What does that mean? Dilute by putting a small amount of a carrier on the location where you will then follow with a drop of essential oil. Young Living carries the KidScents line of essential oils that are already prediluted, so those can easily be used on infants. Roll on the bottoms of the feet. Young Living has other blends such as Peace & Calming, RutaVala, Tranquil and Gentle Baby, which are easily applied using a small amount of carrier oil as directed above.
Here is some great info from the Aroma Infant book by Kortni Harting Langsweirdt & Marcella Vonn Harting:
You can use the Raindrop Technique on infants. Apply olive oil all over the back and use just one drop of each oil from the Raindrop kit. If the back starts to show redness, apply more olive oil.
Kortni started using Raindrop on her infants at 2 weeks old.
Another thing to be aware of for anyone are Hot Oils.
Hot oils are oils that create a hot or warming sensation on the skin. They may be uncomfortable for some and so using them with a carrier oil or apply the carrier oil after the essential oils has been applied is helpful. Hot oils include oils such as cinnamon, clove, lemongrass, oregano, thyme, Exodus II and Thieves. For infants, be sure to use a carrier oil prior to applying any of these essential oils. Peppermint may also be warm for some individuals.
Again remember, do what makes you comfortable, so diluting oils and application is up to you!
POST #3: KIDSCENTS
Did you know that there is an entire line of oils that Young Living has formulated specifically for children? They are already pre-diluted for the safety of our kiddos! We use and love all of these so dearly!
Let’s talk about each of the KidScents oils really quickly —

It’s seriously the best!
Do you use Gentle Baby??
POST #5: SEEDLINGS
Young Living introduced the Seedlings baby line of products at convention in 2017, and it has felt like Christmas ever since!
This entire line of products has been specifically formulated for the care of our little ones. All the products in the Seedlings line have been dermatologist tested and are hypoallergenic, formulated without any alcohol, parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, animal-derived ingredients, synthetic preservatives, synthetic fragrances, or synthetic dyes. They are vegan friendly and gluten free!
All-natural and safe for our babies!
Plus, they all contain a special blend of oils that YL created just for their Seedlings products called Calm — which is so soothing and dreamy! It’s a combination of lavender, coriander, bergamot, ylang ylang, and geranium essential oils!
Let’s look at some of the amazing products!
Seedlings Baby Lotion — while babies are known for their cuddly softness, dry skin affects infants just like adults. Hot baths, dry air, irritants, and other factors can all leave your baby uncomfortable and fussy. Combat the effects of dry skin and prevent future dryness with Young Living Seedlings Baby Lotion. This non-greasy moisturizer supports moisture barrier function and smoothing and absorbs into your baby’s delicate skin, leaving it moisturized, soft, and smooth!
Seedlings Baby Oil — the mild, gentle formula of Seedlings Baby Oil was developed for an infant’s delicate skin. The ingredients are 100% plant-based and naturally-derived to create a baby oil that will moisturize, soothe, and nourish your baby’s skin without the use of mineral oil. This gentle baby oil absorbs smoothly, leaving your baby’s skin soft, snuggle-able, and kissable with the delicate scent of YL’s Calm blend.
Seedlings Baby Wipes — These wipes are ultra-soft and comfortable. The soothing formula leaves skin moisturized, soft, and smooth while providing gentle and thorough cleansing without drying your infant’s delicate skin. These gentle baby wipes can be used on any part of your infant’s skin. They are soft, thick, and versatile and can handle all manner of clean up! (You just might enjoy them for yourself too! Hello toxin-free makeup remover wipes!)
Seedlings Diaper Rash Cream — keep little bottoms comfortable without using harsh chemicals that could irritate sensitive skin. This thick, lavender scented cream reduces the duration and severity of diaper rash when applied at the first sign of redness. It soothes on contact, protects your baby’s delicate skin, and acts as a physical barrier to wetness. It can be used as a preventative measure before bed or anytime when exposure to wet diapers may be prolonged.
Seedlings Baby Wash and Shampoo — this all-in-one baby wash and shampoo is the perfect safe and gentle wash to use for your little one! Designed to be tear-free without any harsh chemicals, you can be sure that your little one’s skin is getting clean while soothing the skin at the same time!
Have you had a chance to try any of the Seedlings products yet? What’s your favorite so far??
POST #6: HAPPY TEETH
You know it’s coming.... the tears start, the fussy moments, those new teeth are trying hard to poke through! Ouch!
Here are some great oils to support your little one!
+ COPAIBA (which comes in the starter bundle, YAY!)
1. Wash your hands!
2. Add a drop of Copaiba to your finger and apply directly to gums.
Just gently massage that spot and the gumline. This will help support circulation and reduce the pressure in that spot!
+ COPAIBA & LAVENDER:
I love taking a drop of each in a little bit of coconut oil and rubbing on the baby’s cheek/outside jawline. Massage gently along this area!
YAY for Happy Teeth and Supported Babies!
POST #7: BABY ROLLER
Looking for an oily combo that is gentle, soothing, and supports your little one’s wellness?? Try using these three oils together:
+ Gentle Baby
+ Lavender
+ Frankincense
Put drops of each in a roller (you decide how much of each cause all our littles are different!) and fill the rest with V6 carrier oil. Roll it on your sweet babe’s spine, chest, and feet a couple times a day!
+ "Gentle Baby is a soft, fragrant combination of essential oils designed specifically for mothers and babies. It helps calm emotions during pregnancy and is useful for quieting troubled little ones. It is also soothing to tender skin. Many of the essential oils in this blend are used in elite cosmetics to enhance a youthful appearance."
+ I mean Lavender is basically the unicorn oil; what do we not use lavender for?
Remember, it's our sweet Grandmother oil! Gentle, soft, comforting, relaxing, and all about making us at home. This is the Swiss Army knife of oils, good for anything!
+Frank. Just read up on the benefits of frank & the support power of frank. You want this going on your families daily. Not to mention it’s grounding!
Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) was once regarded as more valuable than gold in ancient cultures. Frankincense also has a similar effect inside the body, encouraging the cells and functions to come back to their foundations.
The perfect combo for our little pumpkins!
Do you have a favorite wellness roller for your little ones??!
POST #8: LULLABY SPRAY
Trust us, you’re going to want to make this lullaby spray! It’s the perfect spray for your little one’s sheets, blankets, and favorite stuffed animals! And it’s super easy to make!

Not a big DIY fan? No worries! YL has you covered -- just grab some of the Seedlings Linen Spray. 😊
So calming and soothing for our sweet babes!
POST #9: GENTLE BABY BODY BUTTER
This is the perfect body butter to soothe and support your little one’s skin with the added benefits of Gentle Baby essential oil!
You need:
+ ½ cup coconut oil (the kind that is solid at room temperature)
+ ½ cup unrefined shea butter
Whip with a hand beater or stand mixer to desired consistency. Add 15-20 drops of Gentle Baby oil. Whip again to combine! Massage into your little one’s skin.
It’s so dreamy!
Have you tried it??!
POST #10: IMMUNE SUPPORT FOR OUR BABES & THOSE WHO WANT TO HOLD THEM
From day one we’re focusing on meeting the needs of our little ones, and that includes their little immune systems. Especially as they are growing and developing, and being introduced to more and more of the world, it’s so comforting to know that we have so many natural products that we can use safely.
Here are some of our favorites for immune support — but again, you know what is ultimately best for your little one, so use your mama’s intuition!
Overall immune support — Lavender, Frankincense, Tea Tree, Orange, SniffleEase, Copaiba
Digestive support — TummyGize, Lavender
Sleep support — Lavender, Frankincense, Peace & Calming, Cedarwood
Remember, always use diluted oils!!
We love our little oily babies and that we can support their immune systems, but what about those people who come over who want to hold them? Especially when our babes are so young, we want to protect them as much as possible from pesky germs. So, what do we do for all those people who want to snuggle our little ones?
Have them wash their hands — use Lavender or Thieves Foaming Hand Soap. Or have them use the Thieves Waterless Hand Sanitizer! A little immune support for our guests while giving us piece of mind as they hold our little ones.
What are your favorite oils for supporting your sweet babe’s immune system??

POST #12: CLEANING BABY’S BOTTLES, PACIFIERS, AND TOYS
Let’s talk about keeping baby’s things all clean!! When it comes to cleaning baby’s bottles and pacifiers, try using YL’s Thieves Dish Soap! It contains our beloved Thieves blend of oils that will ensure that baby’s things are getting cleaned.
What about baby’s toys? We love using Thieves Household Cleaner to clean our little one’s things! We soak them in the sink with some hot water and a little bit of Thieves household cleaner and then rinse well and let them dry!
Young Living makes it easy!
POST #13: CLEANING BABY’S CLOTHES
While the laundry machine seems to be going non-stop all the time, I love knowing that I am using the best of the best to clean my family’s clothes, blankets, sheets, and more!
Have you tried the Thieves Laundry Detergent yet? This toxin-free formula cleans our clothes without any harsh chemicals getting into our clothes and sheets, which is so important. Think about it! The products we use on our clothing infiltrate the fabrics and rub up against our skin all day long and can be absorbed through our skin into our bloodstream. So, what we put in the laundry matters! I do all our family’s laundry with Thieves Laundry Soap and usually add a few drops of Thieves or Purification EO with the laundry soap for each wash.
Need to get out some stains?? Those unavoidable blow-outs or wear and tear or littles rolling around outside? Thieves Household Cleaner and Thieves Dish Soap actually make the most wonderful stain removers!! When we need some heavy-duty stain protection, we spray some Thieves Cleaner on the spot, then a bit of Thieves Dish Soap and rub together to get the soap absorbed and help to get the stain out. Sometimes we’ll soak beforehand or just throw right into the washer and do a regular load of laundry. Works like a charm every time!
And let’s talk about once the clothes actually make it into the dryer. Did you know that dryer sheets also contain harmful chemicals? That’s why we’ve made the switch over to wool dryer balls in our household (they are super cheap, and you can get them on Amazon!). We add a few drops of essential oils to the balls before sticking them in the dryer. We love using Lavender on sheets and blankets and baby clothes, or Purification if something needs a little extra refresh (or let’s be real, if mama left the laundry in the washer a little too long…).
Laundry time has been totally revolutionized with Thieves. Love knowing that even our laundry is safe and soothing on our little one’s skin!
Do you have any other laundry hacks you would add??!
POST #14: THANK YOU!
We are so glad that you were able to join us for our class tonight! We love these oils so much and love that we can use the best of the best around our family and our little babes. We hope that you enjoyed it!
