Shelly replied. If your child is breast fed, loose stool is common, and completely alright. Just keep desitin on her bottom so she dont get chapped. As to massage, I dont see it necessary, but with your culture do as you wish. As to bathing, the person that said daily is completely wrong. YOU should NOT bathe your infant daily as it will dry their skin and cause exema. Bathe if necessary if she soils and needs a bath. Otherwise bathe only every other day, or every 2 days. As to them replying with diseases and so forth, thats a crock. If you maintain your home and keep it clean, you child should be in good health. Best of luck.

According to my knowledge, If you are breast feeding your baby then theres nothing to worry actually. but if anything bothers you its always good to have a talk with a Doctor. He can help you the best.
Regarding a massage it depends wholey on you as till when you want to do a thing. but keep massaging yr baby till one yr atleast. Shower is daily offcourse. keep your baby clean always as it keeps away dieases and sickness.
I am a mother of 2 boys one 3 1/2yrs and the other 4months. when free i do give my elder son a massage too. its good for the skin.
talk anything to yr baby and he will love it. tell him what you are preparing for food. what you do in the kitchen. or going to clean the house. etc etc. talk to him as a you would talk to any adult than talking to him like a baby. as they tend to pick up fluent words and learn faster and understand better too.sing to him songs, you must be humming a few without fail.make sounds of animals, read stories to him or rhymes with actions.
i hope this would help you. and incase of any doubt about yr baby never hesitate to speak to yr doctor.
bye,
