A. you have to just balance according to the type of skin of the child. usually the skin of the child is mainly dry and sensitive then in these areas you have to apply coconut oil or moisturizing lotion in the areas where sweating is present and skin folds there is no need to apply oil or lotion but you have to regularly clean it with soap and you can apply baby powder if needed. take care of the skin child in this manner on the whole body. neck holding of the child should be present by 4 months to maximum 5 months of age.s regular massage of the back as well as the neck will help in strengthening the muscles of this area. if neck holdsing and head holding is not proper by the end of 5 months it is important to meet the doctor for examination to find the cause of delayed milestones
