Ishi Purnima replied. Hi ishi,

My daughter also had same issue due to jhonson oil..my doctor gave me dermadew soap and lotion to rectify..

my doctor prescribed me to use olive oil for massage..i am using figaro olive oil...you can also use badam oil for masaage.

purnima Pooja replied. Ishi..
Either one.. when i was in Delhi ..i used the homemade ghee ..but in singapore i used amul Desi ghee to massage him.. Pooja replied. Hi,

For Aayan I have used desi ghee n lil of almond oil from beginning and touchwood everything is going good with him.. I find desi ghee massage very good..i massage him and leave him to play for 15-30 mins.. then i apply atta n milk or curd to remove oil , then give him bath with J&j milk bath..

Ishi replied. Hello All,
Thanks for your response and I little relieved to know that its common to get rashes in reaction to oil. Lot of you have mentioned Olive oil, Coconut and almond oil, are these specifically for babies? I have almond oil for myself , do u think I can use that for my son or need to get different one. If nothing works then I will try Daur lal tail, hope I ' ll get in Indian store.

My doctor suggested to use Aveeno products, but I don' t find Aveeno baby oil. Also my baby' s skin feel rough on touching, my doc suggested to apply Eucerin lotion, has anybody tried??

Sangeeta replied. Advika didnt had any rash with any oil... I started using Oilatum as doctor prescribed me.... But from a month back I started using home made oil for her (Boiled oilive oil + neem leave + kacha haldi + some methi seeds and then drained) she didnt had any allergy... I heared Olive Oil is good for baby skin ... My doc suggested me not to use any product of johnson...

We get Seba Med product here which is really good specially soap and sampoo which i am using for advika ... sudha reema replied. j&j is a product which doc nt to use now a days as an increased use of parafin has been found so we had been using olive oil in body and coconut oil on head but some times back he dev rashes and it has been stopped he has been prescribed an aloevera based bodylotion which is devoid of frag but we r using coconut oil on his head
he is due his shots this friday where it will b decided if we can use olive oil or not but besan is definitly out Jyoti Arora replied. Yes dear I was on the same boat. My son is now 10 months old and i am using Dabur Lal Tail as he got red rashes whenever i used johnson & johnson. Plese don' t wory. Poonam replied. hii
Rishon was allergic to all type of oils so started massaging him with desi ghee..I use to put almond in it for good frangnance..later when I came to India I tried Dabur Lal tail wch is quite ok with Rishon..I never use oil on his face & hair.As his facial skin is more sensitive to oil.While giving bath ensure all oil is removed ..never put oil on baby' s head at night.I use Oilatum soap which is really good for babies skin. Sabitha Jayashankar replied. Sorry that ur baby developed red rashes.probably johnsons baby oil didnt suit him.For my son i use coconut oil and sometimes almond oil.for my elder one i always used almond oil.its good for massage.Some people massage using mustard oil.Olive oil is also excellent.Did the docttor suggest any particular oil ?
