We've never had bedtime issues at all, except for teething times of course!!

Plant Therapy Kid Safe Line<br /> What kind(s)? I use nighty night blend, sniffle stopper blend, and then two pre-diluted roll on's - germ destroyer and immunity booster<br /> How do you use it - see above - I diffuse two for night time sleep and then use the two pre-diluted roll on's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-essential-oil-recommendations-for-toddler-sleep#post-2709877 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 21:05:46 +0000 CakeLady 2709877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumpkin Pie: I haven't heard of that.

I use doterra and use an immunity rollerball on her feet and diffuse lavender or their Serenity blend. She's still full of energy though so I'm not sure if it's helping. :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-essential-oil-recommendations-for-toddler-sleep#post-2709836 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 19:33:22 +0000 Canoli 2709836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Young Living and diffuse lavender and Peace and Calming. Sometimes I will place the lavender directly on them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-essential-oil-recommendations-for-toddler-sleep#post-2709835 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 19:32:04 +0000 SweetiePie 2709835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CakeLady: oh yeah. My ped warned when my son was REALLY young that baths can be stimulating for some kids instead of relaxing. Any way to separate the bath from bedtime? I have one friend that does it BEFORE dinner since it winds her daughter up.<br /> (Sorry I'm going a little OT since you asked about essential oils and not wind down tips!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-essential-oil-recommendations-for-toddler-sleep#post-2709826 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 19:11:12 +0000 CakeLady 2709826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: @Jackiedavis87: @Coral: Thanks, these sound like great options!</p> <p>@SweetiePie: We have a lavender bubble bath that we use sometimes - the bubbles in the bath get him really excited. He might go for the sleepy tea though. He is totally into "special drinks" since we pretty much only do water and milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-essential-oil-recommendations-for-toddler-sleep#post-2709822 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 18:54:48 +0000 Coral 2709822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CakeLady: Another fan of Nighty Night! I love Plant Therapy because they use quality ingredients, are HUGE on essential oil education,and you don't have to pay the price for an MLM. </p> <p><a href="https://www.planttherapy.com/nighty-night" rel="nofollow">https://www.planttherapy.com/nighty-night</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-essential-oil-recommendations-for-toddler-sleep#post-2709818 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 18:49:21 +0000 SweetiePie 2709818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about some of the calming bubble baths for babies? I think California baby makes one if you're into the more natural route. But we've been using the j&amp;j bedtime bath for about a year and really love it. Or even Dr Teals bubble baths are made with essential oils.<br /> <a href="http://www.target.com/p/california-baby-over-tired-and-cranky-bubble-bath/-/A-10756193?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&#038;AFID=google_pla_df&#038;CPNG=PLA_Baby+Shopping&#038;adgroup=SC_Baby&#038;LID=700000001170770pgs&#038;network=g&#038;device=m&#038;location=9004075&#038;gclid=CIGgkf3V1NICFdJWDQodRQMAgg&#038;gclsrc=aw.ds" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/california-baby-over-tired-and-cranky-bubble-bath/-/A-10756193?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&#038;AFID=google_pla_df&#038;CPNG=PLA_Baby+Shopping&#038;adgroup=SC_Baby&#038;LID=700000001170770pgs&#038;network=g&#038;device=m&#038;location=9004075&#038;gclid=CIGgkf3V1NICFdJWDQodRQMAgg&#038;gclsrc=aw.ds</a></p> <p>Also, I know it's not what you asked for - but there is a sleepy tea for kids.

We do a very long bedtime routine which helps him relax but even after an hour+ of bath, books, songs, it still takes him a long time to fall asleep. </p> <p>I'd love to try essential oils to help him relax, but I don't know anything about them. I'd love your reccos!</p> <p>What brand do you use?<br /> What kind(s)?<br /> How do you use it - diffuser, topical, something other way?<br /> Other tips? </p>
