In kolkata now its very hot. Temp is round about 40 degrees. There is too much of humidity too. My daughter's skin is dry. Do I need to oil and moisturize her skin every day? I use coconut oil. She sweats a lot. Her age is 2 years 5 months. Can leaving her bare body through the whole day effect her skin quality?

There's no harm using oil for your baby's massage when the weather is hot and humid, as long as you use an oil that is suitable for your baby's sensitive skin. Some experts however say that residual oil from a massage can trap sweat or block pores making a heat rash more likely. Just ensure that you wash the massage oil off your baby well during her bath. You can use oil free moisturizer that suits your baby skin.
