| Özet |
| Massage has been practiced in infant care for many years since it creates a good mother-infant bond, contributes to the prevention of morbidity, and provides better physical development. Baby oil massage has been shown to have several benefits in neonates. However, recent studies have reported that not all oils are appropriate for baby massage. This study was conducted to discuss the results of studies on the benefits of oil massage, which can affect skin properties and functions during the maturation process of the neonate whose skin has still not fully developed, and the possible effects of oils. In the study, it was also aimed to briefly review the safety of oils to be used in neonate skincare or massage, the importance of knowing the properties of herbal oils before choosing or using a particular one for a massage, and the role of professionals and parents. Moreover, up-to-date information on the use and effects of different herbal oils on the massage of preterm and term babies was provided. Studies show that more research is needed to clearly answer which herbal oil is more effective and safer for infant massage. |
