GOrganica - Virgin Coconut Oil For Your Baby Care
Your newborn baby is probably the most precious thing in the whole world to you. Coconut oil is gaining huge momentum worldwide for being a super oil â?? containing anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties. Not only will it save you money, it will be better for the planet and better for your babyâ??s skin. Coconut is a natural, delicious smelling moisturiser that can be used in a variety of ways, here are some ideas:
GOrganica VCO Use #1: Baby Massage Oil
Weâ??ve all heard about the benefits of baby massage. As well as strengthening the bond between parent and baby, the massaging can also relax baby in time for bed. Some baby massage oils are actually made from petroleum â?? not something many mums would knowingly want to rub into their newbornâ??s skin. To make your own natural baby massage cream, simply take one part coconut oil and one part olive oil, mix together and, if you wish, add two drops of a natural essential oil. Lavender is a good o ne to choose because it aids relaxation.
Make sure you choose virgin coconut oil because this means it is as pure as possible. Other coconut oils may have been bleached or refined, adding in chemicals and taking out goodness along the way. Choosing organic coconut oil will further protect your baby from chemicals, and will be good for the planet too! Oh and mammas â?? if youâ??re breastfeeding and use coconut oil in your cooking or consume it any other way, baby gets the benefits too.
GOrganica VCO Use #2: Body Lotion
Your babyâ??s skin is probably soft enough without you needing to cover him in any lotions or creams, but if your baby needs a little help, coconut oil is the perfect natural moisturiser. For example, some babies suffer dry patches in the creases of their neck, a quick dab of coconut oil will help to keep the area moisturised while protecting the skin from further irritation.
