ExpertDr. Pandurang sawantPaediatrician7 years ago

A. No its not good You can use any brand coconut or pure almond oil All baby brands are equally good. Himalays, Johnson, chicoo, mamaearth, dabur lal tail, are better option. Bath ur baby every day before bath Once a day massage is suficient for small babies.

A. My doctor always told me to opt for natural products instead of branded and packed ones. I use olive oil, coconut oil, or pure almond oil for massage before bath. And massage him with fresh milk cream or coconut milk once a week during winters and curd with honey once a week during summers. Sometimes I add fresh fruit juices to the massage pack. However, I don’t massage with these packs for long and also don’t allow them to dry. It’s like an immediate rub on his body with gentle strokes and bath. Never faced any skin issues.
