1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years), chamomile flowers applied to the skin are usually low risk but have a higher chance of causing allergic reactions. Most kids won’t have problems, but some do — especially children who are sensitive to ragweed or similar plants.
If you want to use a chamomile product on a 1-2 year old: do a small patch test first (apply a tiny amount on the inner forearm or upper thigh and wait 24–48 hours). Use only small amounts, avoid the face, eyes, mouth and broken skin, and choose products that list chamomile clearly so you know what’s in them. If any redness, swelling, hives, or breathing changes happen, stop use and seek medical care.
Watch for allergic signs (redness, swelling, hives, trouble breathing). The provided ingredient data lists allergies and immune reactions as a high concern and notes some animal studies showing neuromuscular effects at high doses and a few human case reports related to pregnancy — these are reasons to be cautious. Avoid use if your child has known ragweed or related plant allergies, and avoid applying to broken skin or near the eyes/mouth.
