An aromatherapy treatment has so many benefits and can instill a sense of happiness, love and well-being into your child and this would be therapeutic for both of you. It also gives you time together, to learn, to absorb and to bond. Quality time can often be difficult to find, so this is a wonderful way of capturing those moments. Ensure that the oil used is pure essential oil and not synthetic oil which would not be appropriate for use with children and could even be harmful.
Massage on children has huge beneficial affects and can be nurturing and loving and as well as being wonderful for health and happiness, can help to cement those naturally strong bonds. Be careful not to massage too hard or deeply into the muscles, the touch should be gentle and light, and worked in the direction of the natural blood flow, firmer strokes upwards. For example: from wrist to shoulder.
Aromatherapy treatment for massage:
For sleep – 2 drops of Roman Chamomile and 4 drops of lavender mixed in base oil such as Almond. This can then be massaged gently into the skin and will induce good slumber.

How To Use Essential Oils at Birth
“I was with my daughter when she delivered her third baby. I diffused Peace & Calming® in the hospital room, massaged lavender and wintergreen on the ankles, and as delivery time came near with the hardest labor, I massaged her lower back with wintergreen. The attending nurse said she has seen hundreds of deliveries but has never seen any like this. It was marvelous!”

Peace & Calming® is a gentle, fragrant blend. When diffused, it helps calm tensions and uplifts the spirit, promoting relaxation and a deep sense of peace. When massaged on the bottoms of the feet, it can be a wonderful prelude to a peaceful night’s rest. Peace & Calming® may be especially calming and comforting to mother and baby, and to young children after an overactive and stressful day.Click here to read the full story!

Menopause and Gentle Baby Oil
Suzanne Tompkins submitted the following tip:
“I have been using Gentle Baby™ essential oil blend to help me sleep through these years of menopause; even night sweats don’t seem to keep me awake anymore! I put 2–4 drops in my hands and inhale deeply; then I rub the oil on my temples and the back of my neck. I also rub 2–3 drops on the bottom of my feet. Even when I wake in the night to visit the bathroom, I fall quickly back to sleep, which was not happening before Gentle Baby!”

Planning a Baby Shower
What comes to mind after hearing the four magical words,“We’re having a baby?” A baby shower,of course. Organizing a party with the expectant parents’ closest friends and family members is the perfect way of expressing “Congratulations,” or “We’re happy for you,” or “Best wishes.”
Aimed at further boosting the parents-to-be’s excitement for the future member of their family,the baby shower is usually hosted by a close friend or relative,at any time during the last months of the pregnancy.
Just like any other party,a baby shower requires careful planning to ensure that it will go as smoothly as possible,and be memorable for everyone. Although there are no rules cast in stone in preparing for a baby shower,there are some helpful tips to follow to help the host organize every aspect of the event.
1) Decide on the location.
Most baby showers are held at the parent-to-be’s house,since the expectant mother’s health needs to be considered. It is recommended for small,intimate parties,with only the closest friends and family members. Guests also tend to be more comfortable if the party’s setting is at home.
If the expectant parents love the outdoors,a barbecue party at their garden,or a local park may also be an option. Naturally,the weather must be considered – baby shower does not literally mean soaking the guests in the rain.
For less complications,the host may reserve a secluded area in a restaurant or bar. It may be more costly,but at least the decoration,food and drinks,as well as the post-party cleanup will already be taken care of.
