Re: [Everything doTERRA] Candida detox rash on baby

    You'll probably get a couple different answers on the list. I don't have a lot of infants and toddlers in my circle that I have a lot of contact with. I might try FCO with a pinky swish of lavender or melaluca for the rash. Perhaps even just FCO.
In my opinion 1-2 drops is way too much. I just use the pinky swish. To put it in perspective, if one drop is a treatment for a 200 lb adult that would be the equivalent of 20 drops on the bottom of an adults foot.
    Personally I don't recommend any of the cleanses while breastfeeding including zendocrine, Terrazyme or GX. Lemon in water, LLV, change in diet and a daily PB Assist is the most I would suggest.
    For me it is important that mother and baby enjoy this age and bond. Its no fun with a cranky colicky baby. Maybe I'm jaded but I think you need those moments to get you through those teenage years.

Gin,

1-2 drops on the bottoms of his feet. It was not diluted. This gal had a sample of on guard and is brand new to the oils. I'm also wondering now if this could be a reaction to the oils she was using since she was breastfeeding and that caused detox symptoms in him?  She used Zendocrine, I think 1 drop a day in her water for about a week and Lemon oil in her water as well (not sure how much of that) for a week too.  What do you think??  Should she do anything for the baby or just wait it out?

How much and were was the oil used? Was it diluted?  Onguard rashes are
more commonly skin sensitivity vs detox. Typically for a baby of that
age I'd swipe my pinkie over the top of the bottle and put it on the
bottom of his foot with FCO.
