Vetiver Essential Oil

Vetiver essential oil is considered one of the gentler essential oils and is generally safe for breastfeeding mothers when properly diluted (1–2% in a carrier oil) and applied away from the breast area. Its deep, earthy, grounding scent is popular for stress relief and sleep support. Diffusing in a ventilated room is also fine.
