My baby is 10 days old and is having mild jaundice which is quite common. Is it so that we should not do mustard oil massage when the baby is suffering from jaundice?Please suggest.

There's an article on neonatal jaundice by a pediatrician on BabyChakra, that should help you. Just type jaundice in the search bar, you will find it.

You can message your child with any oils that best suits your baby's skin..Must watch for dry skin or rashes after the oil massage which helps you to decide the best oil for your child. Take care..

Dear Mom.. It's quite common of jaundice symptoms in a new born. Please don't worry untill unless there is any fever or rashes or any other severe symptoms.. Please expose the baby skin to the early morning sun rays between 7am . to 8 am and you can do the same in the evening rays between 4.30 to 5.30 also..You can hold the baby in a slant position so the eyes are not directly exposed to sun. Continue this for a month..
