Guess WHAT?!
You know how I told you about rubbing lavender oil on little c's feet before bed? I was telling a very smart friend of mine that tidbit and she advised me to do some research. Apparently there is a link between lavender and tea tree oil and boobs on pre-pubescent boys. (click on boobs for more info from WebMD). It's all over the web, so you know it's true! Even boys that used lotion or shampoo containing either or both oils were affected (google it). Who knew an oil like that could have such a big effect on hormones.
So we're halting the new nighttime ritual. Little c will have enough battles to fight (hairy feet, small hands that smell like cabbage, big head, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope), he doesn't need moobs.
But Mommy does! Bring on the lavender oil!!
Wait, if most research say it affects boys, would it also do the same to girls? I haven't done my part of the research. But if what you say is true, then that discovery could really help a lot of women!
