So Johnson and Johnson's baby oil is dangerous ? How about Ru Yi oil ?

What other baby oils to avoid ?

oh my god.....i give my ds ru yi you also every bath.....somemore at times he will always put the bottle into his mouth....siao liao, i better stop giving him

 

[chuaeil]

Well i think as long as they eat it. I think better dont let them play with it.

Omg... That's scary... When I bring DS for swims, after tt the aunties at Hwa Xia will massage him with JJ baby oil somemore.. Then DS loves sucking his thumbs wor.. *faintz*

Oh ya, how abt Ruyi oil? Breath in also dangerous?? Or only if they consume...?

Well i think as long as they eat it. I think better dont let them play with it.

Do u mean as long as they don't eat it ?

Is application alright ?
As newborn gotta use Ru Yi oil to remove wind .

the thing is all oils or baby products are manufactured from chemicals. as mommies, we need to always be aware tt most bb products ARE chemically enhanced. even toys! remember the china-made fisher price toys with excessive lead? *sigh*

so we all need to be extra careful.

should be as long as they dont consume, this is what i understand cos they said ingested. Ingested means To take into the body by the mouth for digestion or absorption. So now whenever i apply the oil i will prevent her to put her hand in her mouth before i put the mitten.

I am used to put 2 drops of J&J baby oil in my DD's bath tub since she was 1 mth old cos her skin is pretty dry. I must stop doing that now. She likes to lick her fingers all the time. Why now then got such report? This product has been ard for "donkey" years. And general advice for bb's dry skin is to put the oil in water during bath, besides rubbing on bb's body...

Zzzz..... seems nothing is safe nowadays...

I dun use baby oil but ru yi oil is everyday after bb's bath. Should be ok?:err:

 

[CynCyn]

Thanks chuaeil for sharing this report .

 

[chuaeil]

you are welcome cyncyn. I also apply ru yi oil everyday, should be ok. just dont let your bb put it in their mouth ba. Have to be careful now adays.

Why not use ORGANIC edible olive oil for massage instead? No worries if baby licks fingers after that

I'm considering buying a big bottle to split up and share. $8 for 30ml after sharing. 1 big bottle can get around 10 small bottles.
