[quote=Anonymous]My mom was with us for the first three months after my baby was born. We followed everything she told us to do, which means it was pretty much traditional Indian infant-care based on Ayurveda. For the first week or so, only the diaper area was cleansed and the umbilical cord area was swabbed. The idea was that it takes one week to 10 days for the baby to completely recover from the labor of birth. After that, she was massaging the baby 3-4 times a day with olive oil (I think mom liked this part a lot LOL) and we were bathing her once a day at least because of all that oil. My mom was very strict about a lot of things including what products to use on baby's skin. This meant that we used commercially available products minimally. There was no dry skin or eczema or any other problem. YMMV. [/quote]
