A. use olive oil if its too.much deyness , ,The purpose of giving a gentle massage to your baby you can make use of any natural oil like coconut oil, almond oil, olive oil, sesame oil which ever you wish to. the massage should be given in a very gentle manner that relaxes your baby and puts him to a better sleep

A. hi dear Coconut oil, especially virgin coconut oil, is safe to use on babies and children. It may help improve their symptoms, as well as moisturize their sensitive skin. Plus, coconut oil doesn't contain added chemicals or perfumes — and it smells delicious!
