There are also certain essential oils that should not be diffused around infants.
I’ve written a specific post highlighting Robert Tisserand’s advice regarding whether it is safe to diffuse essential oils around babies and toddlers.
I also have a more general post about using essential oils on and around babies and toddlers. It’s well worth a read as it covers things parents often get wrong like safely adding oils to bath water and lotion.
So, I’ve shared a few of our favourite essential oil blends and when we use them:
Chamomile (Matricaria Chamomilla and Chamaemelum Nobile) is well-known for being soothing and Lavender has a lovely calming and relaxing effect. This blend is great for inducing sleep.

Bedtime Congestion Relief
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus Globula or Eucalyptus Radiata for infants) is my go-to essential oil for my congested babies. I add a drop or two of Lavender for a soothing blend that helps my little ones to breathe.
Daytime Congestion Relief
Fir needle (Abies Sibirica) is a good alternative to Eucalyptus oil. Mixed with a drop or two of distilled lemon (Citrus Limon) and you’ll have a zesty blend that can help boost your babies mood and energy.
Clean Nursery
Distilled Lemon with Teatree essential oil is a good blend to diffuse to have your room smelling clean and fresh again.
