Newbie With a Question
Hi all. I’m brand new to the community, but not totally new to natural family living. My husband and I have been married for just over 2 years, and we have a gorgeous 10 month old little girl named haylie Elizabeth. She’s pretty much the light of my life, and she’s got her Daddy wrapped around her little finger in a major way. We cloth diaper, breastfeed, and baby wear. We also delayed solid foods until 6 months, though she didn’t start really getting into them until about a month ago. We fully vaccinated her until she was 4 months old, and then I put my foot down and we started declining some and delaying others. Now we’re following the Dr. Sears schedule. I had a very necessary emergency cesarean to deliver my girl, but we’re hoping for a home birth the next go round, whenever that may be. We’re planning to start TTC in another month or so.
Now that you know everything there is to know about me, I have a quick question. I looked in the essential oils tag and didn’t see what I wanted, and didn’t really know where else to look. So if this has been addressed before, I apologize. My husband and I are both having trouble sleeping at night. I was thinking about getting some lavender and/or chamomile essential oils, but I’m not really sure what to do with them. I would love to use them in a bath, but our bathtub is barely big enough for my right arm, let alone my whole body. Would I accomplish the same thing by putting the oils in a warm mist humidifier in our bedroom? If that would work, would it be safe for my daughter to inhale, since she sleeps in our room as well? I’m clearly an aromatherapy dunce, so please forgive me if this is obvious. Thank you, and I’m happy to be here!
