yes, I used it in my sons bath from 3 months to sooth him after his feeding troubles. depends on how big your bath is. in his baby bath I used 2 drops but when he got into the big main bath it was 5 drops but then I used high altitude lavender oil which is the best for theraputic use which is what any self respecting aromatherapist would use too, cos its not just smelly!!

thank you, misi (once again - can you become my personal therapist?!)
I thought a few drops might be too many but our bath is quite big so will use several; anything for a decent night's sleep!

and try to get some lavender water and splash a bit on the sheet underneath the her pillow, worked a treat for my son.
