Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Is The Right Time To Start Oil Massage In Newborn?
My grand daughter was born 10 days ago. She is feeding well, has no skin problems. Before leaving the hospital, the doctors strictly instructed not to start oil massage until she is 40 days old, whereas in our time, oil massage used to be started within a week of birth. Please advise what is the right time to start oil massage.
thanks for asking I gone through your question and understand your concern, There is clear cut guideline for message. But as baby come in this world, she has to accommodate many things. like she has to feed,breath her self , and many thing other thing her self. I think it take about 1 month to accommodate her . as she start having good weight gain, . i seen many newborn after message gone for very deep sleep, that many cause of concern to both parents and paediatrician. so i not see any problem if her massage delayed for 40 days . hope i answer your query.
