Hi lybrate-user, you can use any oil for massage which suits your baby's skin. Coconut oil is good.

Hi Aman, Normally all babies get rashes in 1 st 4-6 weeks of life. This is Nothing to worry. You can use oil of your choice to massage, it is the massage that helps the baby , not the oil. You can use plain coconut oil for the massage.
