Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy2 years agoA. baby massage is very important because it will help in strengthening the muscles of the body.
you can go for any type of oil which is not causing allergy on the skin for massage.
it can be carried out 3 or 4 times per day if required. you have to to prevent temperature variations when you uncloth and cloth the child.
it can be done during any time of the day according to the comfort level of the child and the mother
good massage will help in decreasing the colic pain as well as will improve the digestion of the food and also will help in giving proper sleep to the child
kindly apply moisturizing lotion (atogla / cetaphil / physiogel / oilatum) or virgin coconut oil on the skin of the child 4 to 5 times per day and if the problem still continues for more than two weeks then meet your doctor.
do not apply any type of cream lotion or powder which is causing allergy on the skin.
if the child is not having any problems in the umbilicus than no medicine needs to be applied there
