Calm Your Baby Naturally with Lavender
Here are some tips on using lavender to create a more relaxed atmosphere while caring for your baby:
Massages: Both baby and mom can benefit from a relaxing lavender massage. Try a ready-to-use lavender massage oils, or mix a few drops of the essential oil with sweet almond oil or unscented lotion to create your own. Lavender is one of the most gentle essential oils and needs only a little dilution for application to even a baby's skin.
Baths: A soaking bath with lavender is another wonderful way to relax. Choose from a variety of lavender bath products, or simply add a few drops of lavender essential oil to the bath water. For baby's bath, use just two or three drops; for Mom, use five to ten.
No time for a baby bath?: Rub a few drops of lavender into your baby's hair for a fresh, floral aroma, or add 2-3 drops of lavender to a bowl of warm water to enhance a quick sponging off.
In baby's room: Use a diffuser or a lavender mister to disperse the scent of lavender throughout the room during naps and bedtime. And don't just limit these to baby's room-- lavender will help you feel more relaxed too.
Laundry: Add a few drops of lavender essential oil to the baby's laundry (including the crib sheets), not only for the aromatherapy benefits, but also for the soft, clean aroma it will add to your baby's things.
In the car: Parents are usually excellent multitaskers, but trying to calm a fussy baby while negotiating traffic is never easy. To help keep peace in the car, sprinkle a few drops of lavender onto the baby's car seat or a handkerchief or use a special car diffuser (which plugs into the lighter).
Diaper cream: Add a drop or two of lavender oil to diaper cream to help protect and soothe baby's bottom.
Note that essential oils are extremely concentrated. Follow usage directions carefully and keep them tightly closed and out of the reach of children.

Because each kit is custom, we cannot function like "Amazon Prime". We do strive to get your order processed as soon as possible. Most kits will leave our warehouse within 5-7 business days of ordering, this does NOT include shipping time. We recommend you purchase your kit(s) from Simply Birth at least 1 month before your due date. Simply Birth is not responsible if you order your kit too late and are unable to use it.

Simply Birth ships from Dana Point, California and uses USPS and UPS for shipping as it tends to be the most economical for our shipments.
In the case of lost packages by the mail carrier, Simply Birth releases liability of the package once it leaves our warehouse. All packages are insured by the carrier, therefore, if your package is lost, it is your responsibility to contact the mail carrier and file a claim for reimbursement.

Birth is an uncontrollable event and we'd like to provide for some flexibility. If you receive your order but are unable to use it for medical reasons and it is completely unopened (still sealed), we will give you a refund less 20% re-stocking fee, once you ship the order back to us.
