Homemade Baby Oil

Apply a thin layer of baby oil to the infant's feet after bathing. Gently massage the oil up the legs and over the body. Small circular strokes on the abdomen are soothing and stimulate digestion.

Baby Oil for bloating and colic

2 1/2 tbsp. sweet-almond oil
2 tsp. St. John's-wort oil
3 drops ginger essential oil
3 drops Roman-chamomile essential oil

Mix all of the ingredients in a dark bottle with a dropper top, which will help to preserve the oil and prevent bacteria from forming. Shake well before each use. The baby oil will keep for about 6 months.

Basic Baby Oil Recipe

¼ Cup Cooking Grade Almond oil
10-15 drops lavender essential oil

Pour your ingredients right into the bottle you're going to use to dispense the massage oils. Just give a good shake to blend the oils and you're all set. For a different scent, use rose essential oil in place of lavender and orange.
Heavenly Baby Massage Oil
4 ounces of oil (olive, almond, apricot, or sunflower)
5 drops lavender essential oil
5 drops orange essential oil

Pour your ingredients right into the bottle you're going to use to dispense the massage oils. Just give a good shake to blend the oils and you're all set. For a different scent, use rose essential oil in place of lavender and orange.
Calendula Baby Oil
8 ounces of oil (olive, almond, apricot, or sunflower)
1 ounce calendula flowers

Place the oil and calendula flowers in a crock pot on low temperature for about 4 hours to extract the beneficial properties of the calendula into the oil. Check very carefully that your oil is not getting too hot! Allow the oil to cool and then strain it using cheese cloth or a gauze diaper.

You can add a few drops of essential oils if you like. Try 5-10 drops each of orange and lavender or chamomile. For the ultimate luxury use rose essential oil.

Calendula is healing and soothing to the skin. It is excellent for massaging your babies! Calendula oil is also good for helping prevent the over-growth of yeast in the diaper area.
