Rules of Thumb for babies: �You only need one drop or a little on your own finger to put on them. A tiny amount is all that is needed as newborns. �When in doubt, always use some coconut oil with the oils. Many oils can go on neat (or undiluted) but with babies sensitive skin, a little coconut oil can save you the stress of wondering. �Bottoms of feet and spine are great places to put oils on babies-- Spine if not feeling well. Chest, too, if congested. Abdomen for stomach issues.
