Anyone using essential oils to help promote good sleep?

I'm looking into getting a diffuser and some essential oils.  Has anyone else used one and if so, do you think you saw any improvement?

signed,
Ready to try anything.  :)

Joking aside, I have been interested in essential oils and wasn't sure where to start.  I'm thinking the sleep promoting oil would be a good place to jump in and get my feet wet.   (Or get HIS feet wet, I guess!)

    Also considering essential oils, but for teething. One of my cousins uses them for her kids and loves the stuff.

    I don't really want to put it on L, maybe a diffuser would be okay.

    They are too little to use anything on them. Lavender at this age can burn them. We use them in diffusers which lavender in LO room is a wonderful idea to promote sleep. Also if congestion is a factor at all eucalyptus is also awesome to help with it!

    I don't but a coworker with two young kids swears by them. Maybe I should ask her about it with the way this week's sleep has been going!

    I have no clue what is safe for babies but I know some hospitals use lavender for pain relief and studies show (in adults) that it actually works. Might be an option for teething but not sure about sleep

    I use them. I have a diffuser and as long as they are diluted in coconaut oil most are fine. I've use lavender and peace and calming. It really did help her sleep better. I diffused peace and calming and put a tiny bit of lavender on her sheets or in her bath. We ran out though so I have t used it in a while.

    Also somehow I picked up ringworm and I used the medicine and it came back so tried lavender and cocoanut oil and it went away after a couple times.

    I use lavender/coconut oil mixture every night after bath time. I just drop lavender on my hands and give a "massage" with the coconut oil. It's the same oil I use on her bum ;)

    ETA I actually use a lavender blend called serenity, it's a do-terra blend. They make hospital grade essential oils, awesome company of you are interested in essential oils. Young living is another brand I've heard good things about.
