A. First of all after the baby is born after the first bath is given itself, you can apply oil, but make sure that it is not daily. Weekly once or twice massage and bath is more than sufficient and even daily bath is not required for a newborn. Also, make sure that the oil is removed from all the crevices Because if it is stagnant even after a bath, it can cause fungal infections. Make sure to avoid talcum powder near the genital area

A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. You can use oil anytime. Please massage baby with BabyHug coconut oil. Also use Sebamed soap to bathe the baby. Use a good brand moisturiser like BabyHug moisturiser or MamaEarth moisturiser for the baby. Also use a good brand sunscreen lotion for the baby. Thanks and take care
