  I use them occasionally, but only for short periods of time and never in a closed room with him. I am very smell sensitive, so I know how it can be. I get headaches from bad perfume, etc.  I'd hate to bombard his new little nose with an overwhelming smell. However, I have 2 dogs and it's raining here, so a little pumpkin spice goes a long way!

  What do you mean "are they okay to use"?  I don't get why they wouldn't be.  I have them all over my house and since LO can't walk yet, there's no way they're a danger to her.

  I really don't know, I never thought there was an issue with them but DH swore the chemicals that makes them scented go into the air and those weren't good for LO to breathe...So now I can tell him there's no problem!

  I wouldn't use them regularly around LO, especially paraffin-based candles. I don't think it's a big deal every once in awhile, but I personally would only use them for special occasions (but I avoid most artificially scented products anyway).
