My mom bought Manzanilla (oil) for my baby, she told me to use it whenever I feel that baby has colic and put some of it on my baby's hands, feet and back before bath time. I told her that our Pedia dont want us to use any oil since it will make the baby skin iritated. My mom told us that she used it on us but we grew up fine. How will I explain that I dont want to use it on my baby.

It contains dinitrotoluene which is toxic to the liver especially with chronic use. We've had deaths from acute liver failure due to chronic exposure to dinitrotoluene.
