For babies aged 6–12 months, calendula flower oil is generally considered low risk when used on the skin in normal amounts. It is often used to calm and soothe baby skin.
If you want to use a product that contains calendula on your 6–12 month old baby: do a small patch test on a tiny area first and wait 24 hours for a reaction; choose products made for babies and avoid added fragrances; use only as directed and avoid applying to large areas or broken skin; stop use and check with your pediatrician if your baby develops redness, swelling, blisters, or hives.
Watch for skin reactions — while allergy risk is rated low, babies can still react.

Also note that this ingredient can appear in foods or multiple products, so consider total exposure (source: FDA).
