As you can see, my bottle label is pretty much gone because of everyday use. For my newborn twins – We use this as a daily massage oil before shower. After pouring some amount of oil onto a steel small kadai ; To warm the oil, I place the steel kauai on top of running water for few minutes and this way oil gets slightly warmer. My Japa maid use this oil to massage my little ones and they really love the oil massage that they remain less cranky. After leaving the oil about 10 minutes on their body, she washes off using Luke warm water a gentle body cleanser. For my kids – We use Sebamed/Moms Co / Babo Botanicals wash depending on the climate.
New born babies often get the neonatal acne which is thought to be caused by exposure in the womb to maternal hormones.They can last for weeks or even months on a baby’s skin. My babies had similar rashes on their face and body and this oil helped soothe the area and keep the area hydrated. With regular use, the new born acne faded completely.
