Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Chamomile Flowers?
ℹ️General Overview
For newborns and babies under 6 months, chamomile flowers can soothe skin in some products but may cause allergic skin reactions. Because very young babies have sensitive skin and a still-developing immune system, there is a higher chance they could react to chamomile.
✅What to Do
If your baby is 0–6 months: avoid routine use of chamomile on large areas of skin. If you must use a product with chamomile (for example, recommended by a pediatrician), do a very small spot test on a tiny area and wait 24–48 hours to watch for redness, swelling, or rash. Do not apply to broken or raw skin. Prefer products made for infants with minimal ingredients and check with your pediatrician if your baby has eczema, a family history of plant/flower allergies, or any breathing issues.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for rash, redness, swelling, itching, or any breathing changes (wheezing, trouble breathing). Allergic reactions to chamomile are reported in the medical literature (source: peer-reviewed reports noting chamomile as a known human allergen). Limited human case reports have linked herbal product use to unclear pregnancy or developmental outcomes (source: 'Use of herbal products among 392 Italian pregnant women: focus on pregnancy outcome' (2010)). Laboratory/animal studies show neuromuscular effects only at high doses (source: 'Evidence Supports Tradition: The in Vitro Effects of Roman Chamomile on Smooth Muscles' (2018)). If you see any reaction, stop use immediately and contact your pediatrician or seek urgent care for breathing or severe swelling.
