Parents committed to organic baby care could find that lavender is the answer to any bedtime sleepiness issues.

Madame Noire reports that lavender can prove a useful natural remedy for wide-awake babies when it comes to bedtime.

Alternatively, peppermint is another option for a slightly zingier approach to organic baby aromatherapy.

Either way, the advice is to spray a little of the desired aroma on to the baby's pillow or bedding to add a fragrant touch to the bedroom.

Before that, using bathing products such as lotions and bath washes that also contain the fragrance can begin the soothing ride to sleep before the bedroom is even reached.

Avalon Organics is just one of the natural skin care brands whose products include lavender as a scent option.

The company's lavender-scented options consist of its CoQ10 facial cleansing gel, ultimate firming body lotion and facial cleansing milk, all of which parents may find they love to use themselves and not just for sending baby to sleep.
