They
say parents are putting children at risk of developing eczema and other
skin complaints by rubbing them with olive or sunflower oil because
they believe the natural products are safe.
Baby
massage has become hugely popular among parents who find that gently
stroking their child is soothing and helps them bond. It has also been
said to help stimulate babies' brains and improve their digestion.
