Lavender works well to soothe a fussy baby (or pretty much any stressed out person). I usually diffuse the room for with 2 drops of oil for about 10 minutes and it's enough to get the room smelling of lavender and helps me fall asleep within half an hour. Lavender is usually safe to use for babies above 3 months. For a young newborn, perhaps you can diffuse a smaller amount, for a shorter period of time initially and see if baby has an adverse reaction. You can increase the amount and time as baby grows older.
