ℹ️General Overview
For a 6–12 month old baby, chamomile flower extract is generally low risk when used on the skin. Most babies tolerate it fine, but a small number can have a contact allergy, especially if they are allergic to ragweed or other daisy-family plants.
✅What to Do
If you use a product containing this extract on your infant (6–12 months): - Use products made for babies and avoid ones with extra fragrance. - Do a small patch test on a tiny area (inner forearm or thigh) and wait 24–48 hours before using more widely. - Avoid putting it on broken or irritated skin. - Start with a small amount and use sparingly; don’t apply to large areas at first. - If you have concerns (family history of plant/daisy allergies or pregnancy exposure questions), check with your pediatrician before regular use.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and call your pediatrician if you see any redness, swelling, hives, blistering, or breathing changes after using a product with chamomile.
