6-12 month old babies âĸ Skin contact product
For babies 6-12 months (infants, 6â12 month old babies): this oil is generally low-risk in large databases, but there is some evidence it can irritate skin, eyes, or breathing. That means many babies will be fine, but sensitive babies or those with eczema may react.
If you choose to use products with this oil on a 6â12 month old baby, use products made for babies, keep the amount small, and make sure the oil is diluted in a mild base. Do a small patch test on the arm or belly and wait 24â48 hours. Avoid putting it near the face, nose, mouth or in the diaper area. Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, swelling, or your baby coughs or has trouble breathing. Talk with your pediatrician before use if your baby has eczema or breathing problems.
There is limited evidence of skin, eye, and respiratory irritation from the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and Environment Canada notes some concerns about organ system toxicity and environmental effects. Avoid use on broken skin, avoid frequent or full-body applications, and do not use undiluted neat oil on a baby. Watch for rash, swelling, coughing, wheeze, or changes in behavior â seek medical care if you see trouble breathing or severe swelling.
