Essential Oils and Baby

I receieved my new oil burner yesterday :dance: and I am wondering what, if any, oils arent safe to burn with DD around? I remember reading apost regarding Baby Balsam and that there are several essential oils in it that were not safe for the age group specified. So the oils I have at the moment are:
Lavender, Rose Geranium, Bergamot, Sandalwood and Basil. They are all 100% pure oil (or so the bottles say)
Are these all ok? Do you have any suggestions for other safe ones?

Thanks heaps :D

I recently purchased a book called the fragrant pharmacy and I've bought LOADS of pure oils to start using.
The book says that the only oils safe for a newborn are;Roman Chamomile, German Chamomile, Lavender, Yarrow and Dill
They suggest the ones to use up to 12 months are; Mandarin, Eucalyptus, coriander, Neroli, Palma rosa, Calendula, Grapefruit, Aniseed + Tea tree
Am not sure what is on the 'not to use' list though sorry :)
