Asking for Other, Male, 1.6 years old, Karachi
Dear doctords, My baby is 1.6years, 8.5kg . What is the importance of massage for an underweight baby? Which oil should be used in summer (hot weather)? How long should I massage my baby? Should be massaged on knees,? What is the best technique to massage a baby? After how much time after massaging should I bathe my baby? JazakAllah in advance who ever answers...
his diet is more important than massaging, add meat chicken n egg to his diet. however you can still massage him with olive oil
give him multiple types of food especially proteins and massage with physiogel lotion 3 times a day
U shud more focus on his diet rather than massage if he has no joint or bone problem. His wt shud b around 11.5kg. Focus on his diet. Give him dates, fresh fruits, addd red meat and fish in his diet. Start giving multivitamins and vit D syrup on daily basis
Salam mashing is important aspect baby care for newborns 10 minutes older ones 20 minutes r enough pl don’t use olive as this can disrupts skin and induces eczema best oil r mustard oil almonds oil some baby oil
There studies where use of oil for massage in babies who has family history of infantile eczema olive oil didrupts skin ph thus cusses skin allergies
