PSA: Lavender Essential Oil is a miracle!

I have been wary of tylenol ever since reading this article. 

So, when DD got her 4 month shots I was hoping she wouldn't have that bad of a reaction.  I was wrong.  When I finally got her to sleep she would wake EVERY time I stopped.  When she woke she would scream.  She would also whine every few minutes.

I kept hoping she would just fall asleep for good, so I rocked her for about 1 1/2 hours.  I was about to give in when Hippy told me that lavender EO might help.  It is considered a "cure-all." 

I dabbed some onto my shirt, where DD could smell it while she sleeps (we co sleep), and I noticed a difference within a few minutes.  After about 30-45 minutes I was brave enough to try laying down and she stayed asleep!  The rest of the night was just like normal.

I just wanted to post this for anyone who is also hesitant about tylenol and looking for an alternative.  Give it a try next time!

    Are there any potential side effects of lavender EO?

    Poor DS had tons of Tylenol in the hospital so I figure he's had his fill and I'd like to avoid it here out if possible.

    PDX - I don't really know, to be honest.  You might ask Hippy that question.  I figure if there were, she would have told me, but it was late so it may have slipped her mind.  It is all natural and it isn't ingested, so I don't see where the harm could lie.

    Thanks! DD just got her 12 month shots today. So far she seems to be doing well but we'll have to see what tonight brings!

    I had my DS wear an amber necklace around his ankle for a few hrs before his immunizations. I made the RN give the shot in that leg.??He barely cried during the vax. Once we were home,he'd be giggling and back to his normal self. I highly recommend trying the necklace (in addition to lavender).

    Badger Balm makes a "night night balm" that is awesome!  They make an adult one and a kids one if you go to their site.  They also make stuffed animals stuffed with lavendar (maybe for when your DD gets older).
