Baby skin gets little amount of exposure unlike adult skin. Ergo, baby skin doesn’t dry up all that frequently. Especially, you will want to apply baby oil on after the baby takes a bath.
Baby oil is good for both, baby and the mother. It will hold moisture in the skin for prolonged period of time and keep the baby comfortable.
It will make the baby’s skin super soft and hydrated, while being gentle. You can even make it a ritual between you and the baby to give your baby a oil massage as you are getting them ready for bed.
How to Warm Up Baby Oil Easily:
There are more than one ways to get the oil rolling. Typically, the oil comes out cold when you squeeze the container. You could shake the container before taking out a drop or two.
Don’t apply it directly on the baby. Take the oil in your paw and rub the oil with your hand. This will warm it up without needing any more effort.
Although, you are likely to find oil not just cold but solidified in the winter time. No matter how hard you shake or how strong you pull, it won’t work. In that case you will have to warm up the bottle:
- You can micro-wave the oil for 15 seconds. (Warning: Make sure the container is not made of absolutely any metal)
- Another way to warm oils and lotions is to let the bottle float in the tub alongside the baby. The product will be just the right temperature for baby’s delicate skin when the bath is over. See that the lid is completely sealed before you put it in the water.
- You can warm up water on a pan and place the oil container in warm water for 10 to 20 seconds. Careful, don’t boil or over heat the water.
- You can just place the container under the sun or near the stove to heat up the oil. Don’t keep it too close to the fire. Too much heat may cause the container to melt if made with plastic. Use gloves to touch a metal container after heating.
- If it is a small container, you can just take it in your hands and hold it for 5-10 minutes and the oil will be easier to take out because of body heat passing in it through your palm.
