Massage contributes not only to the healing and treatment of various diseases, but also to the harmonious neuropsychic development of the child. Therefore, this procedure is more often used in infants. So that the movements of the hands of the masseur or mother do not bring discomfort to the delicate skin of the baby, it is recommended to use oil. There is a large assortment of this product on the market. Let's try to figure out which oil is best used for massage in children.
Pediatrician
- the oil must have a good shelf life;
- before buying, you must carefully read the description of the product, the components that make up the oil should be only natural;
- it is better to use a product without strong odors;
- a product purchased exclusively from a pharmacy or specialized store can be considered reliable.
What oil can you massage your child with?
In ancient times, it was a mandatory attribute of a children's first-aid kit. This product is odorless and protects the skin well. But everyone has known for a long time that petroleum jelly is a refined product. It forms a very thin film on the baby's skin, which prevents normal sweating, thereby contributing to the development of prickly heat. To avoid such an unpleasant effect, it is necessary to use a minimum amount of the product during the massage, and after the session, bathe the child.
The famous doctor Komarovsky says that oil for massage of babies should be edible, and excludes the use of petroleum jelly for this purpose in children of the first two years of life.
Vegetable oils
Olive oil is used to massage children due to its content of fatty acids such as linoleic and oleic. The substance is well absorbed by the skin and eliminates the flaking that often overtakes the baby.
Peach oil is often used in the care of a small child. It is made from peach pits. Peach oil can be used to lubricate natural folds for the prevention of diaper rash and used to massage babies. The tool has anti-inflammatory, emollient effects on the skin.

Before use, the oil must be warmed in a water bath so as not to irritate the child with cold touches and for better sliding on the body surface. Some products, such as coconut oil, need to be diluted before use, as pure use may cause undesirable skin reactions.
All vegetable oils can be preferred. But it is better to use products that are specially adapted for delicate baby skin with the help of optimally selected concentrations of substances. Such a product does not form a greasy film and is not excessively absorbed into the baby's skin, carefully caring for it.

Moms know or guess what to lubricate the delicate skin of a newborn with oils for cleansing, protection and nutrition. Tiny children are defenseless and subject to outside influences, unable to take care of themselves. Parents are responsible for the health and protection of the infant. Careful adherence to the rules of hygiene will keep the baby's skin clean, soft, velvety, elastic, healthy.
Newborn skin
The skin of infants in the first time after birth partially replaces the baby's hearing and vision organs. With the help of tactile contacts, the baby learns the world around him. Therefore, it is so important to keep the skin of the crumbs clean, dry, and at a comfortable temperature.
Nature has created a so-called mantle on the surface of human skin, that is, a surface water-lipid layer. This layer is designed to protect the skin from environmental influences, temperature extremes, and promotes the production of vitamin D.
The lack of keratin in the skin of babies, a thin stratum corneum, the proximity of blood vessels makes it dry, easily flaky, and vulnerable. To avoid irritation, diaper rash, diathesis, protect the baby's skin from birth. Oil for newborns will help take care of the health of baby skin.
What are
Oils have long been valued as a concentration of vitamins, especially vitamins E, D, trace elements, antioxidants. Vegetable oils are squeezed out of seeds and fruits of plants, used for food: sunflower, olive, nut, sesame, cocoa, avocado. They are useful in the content of oleic, linoleic and other fatty acids.
In aromatherapy and cosmetology, essential oils are valued, which are produced by the extraction or distillation of flowers, fruits, leaves, rhizomes. They are distinguished by pleasant aromas. Plants with a bright smell are used as raw materials: eucalyptus, calamus, juniper, camphor, anise, oregano.
Vegetable, medical, mineral, essential oils are suitable for hygiene procedures for children and adults.
In medicine, oil for newborns is used on a plant or mineral basis, for example, castor, petroleum jelly, sea buckthorn, which have analgesic, wound healing, antiseptic properties. The therapeutic effect on the skin is due to the substances dissolved in them.
The use in medicine as a solvent for injection and as independent drugs is due to its useful qualities. For example, mineral vaseline oil is used as a remedy for healing wounds and cracks, softening rough areas, with its help, cold nasal crusts and baby crusts of the crown are cleaned with it.
For babies
Among the many available in the industry, it is difficult to choose one newborn oil that meets all of your baby's needs. Each has some useful property, often inherent only in this variety.
So, consider the following types.
- Sweet acacia is a good antiseptic, nourishes and soothes baby's skin.
- Apricot kernel oil promotes tissue regeneration, helps with dermatitis.

- Tui ─ relieves itching, allergies, wound healing antiseptic.
- Tea tree ─ against insect bites, anti-inflammatory, strong antiseptic.
Application
The use of oils for the hygiene of the child is necessary and justified. During the morning toilet and after water procedures, the mother carefully examines the baby, wipes problem areas with clean, sterilized oil. Vegetable or petroleum jelly, applied to a cotton turunda, gently cleans the nose and ears.
If a neonatologist or pediatrician has not recommended another remedy to prevent diaper rash, immediately after bathing, problem areas are lubricated with an oil cotton pad. The crown, behind the ears, folds of skin, neck, armpits, elbow and popliteal folds, groin and butt are also lubricated.
Such procedures are especially useful for premature babies. Lubrication cleans folds and folds, prevents redness, flaking, diaper rash, promotes the early healing of baby crusts on the crown of the baby.
During the massage, both the baby and the mother are more pleased if the skin is oiled. It is impossible to pour oil on the skin of the crumbs. It is used like this: Mom puts a small amount ─ a few drops ─ on her palm, rubs and warms it. Rubs his palms into the delicate skin of the baby.
Hygiene of the baby includes rubbing the folds and folds of the body with oil, this is especially true in the presence of diaper rash, redness, peeling
Testing and sterilization
Check for allergies before using any remedies for a nursing baby. Apply a drop of the product to your baby's skin and observe the smear. This test will show a reaction within a day. If redness or a rash appears in this place, this remedy cannot be used categorically. Do not ignore such testing, make it a rule. Allergy is a very unpleasant disease, do not provoke it.
Remember that all oils are sterilized and cooled before use. You cannot buy it at a grocery store (even a simple sunflower) and immediately smear it on the baby. After sterilization, it is the best remedy for hygiene procedures and for solving skin problems.
The ideal sterilization method is in a water bath. It makes no sense to sterilize a large portion, as the beneficial substances are destroyed during storage. Sterilizing it at home is not difficult and long-term, so prepare a small portion for the near future.
To prepare the remedy for the baby, put a small container of oil in a bowl of cold water. This can be a small glass jar or medicine bottle. Make the water level in the large container less than 1/3 of the top of the jar or bottle. Place a cloth 3-4 layers under the dish with oil to protect the oil from overheating and scorching. After the water in the large container has boiled, continue sterilizing over low heat.
Young mothers ask how much to boil oil during sterilization. Do not boil at all, keep it on low heat without boiling. For a small amount, 20 minutes of warming up is enough. When air bubbles appear on the surface, sterilization is stopped.
Leave the dish with oil in a large container until it cools completely. When it cools down, close it with a tight lid, put it in a cool, dark place. This way, sterilized oil lasts for a long time. It is not recommended to pour the cooked oil into another dish. Use as needed.

manager 09:00 How to use baby cream and baby oil correctly
Baby cream and baby oil are the most essential products for baby's skin care from the first days of his life. They must be in a children's cosmetic bag without fail. The baby's skin, especially in the first year of his life, cannot cope with internal and external negative influences without help. Food allergies, dry air, high temperatures, contact with tight clothes or a diaper - all this immediately affects the manifestation of prickly heat, peeling, redness, and rashes. This happens due to the fact that the metabolism in the skin of the crumbs functions incompletely, immunity is practically absent. In addition, in the first months of life, the baby's skin itself is excessively dry, since the hydrolipid film on its surface is still too thin and is broken with every bath, even if you do not use soap or other chemical detergents.
