Before my latest addition was due, I stocked up on all of the essential oils I had read about in Debra Raybern's book,
Gentle Babies. One oil in particular was Young Living Dill oil. She lists it under Colic and describes using it for gassy tummy issues in babies. The baby can seem irritable and uncomfortable and you are not sure why. When my son was about 6 weeks he seemed rather upset one evening and gassy. I immediately thought I would try it and see. I put a little organic raw coconut oil on his back, then a drop of dill and rubbed in a circular motion.
I could not believe how quickly he calmed down. I could not pinpoint what it was I ate to upset him. It happened again a week or so later and the Dill oil worked like a charm. Anytime he gets fussy or gassy my husband says where is the Dill oil!!!! He just applied it neat without a carrier oil on his tummy instead of his back one day with no problem. I have to say the smell is strong but worth it to have a happy baby!!!
