As we were waiting do the doctor I had her on the checkup table and she flipped right over to her tummy as is customary now. It wasn't long before she found the "scratchy" paper that covers the table. She has been loving hearing the sounds different objects make as well as how they feel. Carpet, leather couches, jackets, and the doctor's office table paper. I had to be careful as she has such a good grip and a few times she caught the edge and started to tear it and you guessed it, go for the hole in one! Nooo you can't eat that Aubrey!! Whew.
We have been trying to use doTerra essential oils instead of over the counter meds etc and another friend just posted about using them for her daughter when she got immunizations. So I figured I should give it a shot, no pun intended. In the past I have given her Tylenol beforehand and she has cried initially when the needles go in but then soon after she is fine. She had the same reaction when I used the diluted clove and lavender oils today. Yay oils! I have rubbed it on her thighs a few times today to help with any tenderness.
I've also heard clove is good for teething so that will be next on the list!
Clove is a wonderful natural analgesic. There is an old fashioned clove gum that is awesome to help stop those tickling coughs in the winter time. I love my clove oil!
