Why you shouldn't use olive oil for massaging your baby: Parents are putting their children at risk of skin complaints such as eczema :- Childhood eczema now affects nearly one in three children
They warned that many other baby skincare products in shops had only passed cosmetic tests and there was no clinical evidence proving they were safe.
Baby massage has become hugely popular among parents who find that gently stroking their child is soothing and helps them bond. It has also been said to help stimulate babies' brains and improve their digestion.
Childhood eczema now affects nearly one in three children, compared to just one in 20 in the 1940s, with experts blaming the rise in environmental factors including parents' desire to use products on their children.
She added: 'To avoid harm to babies, until further research is available, those two topical oils – olive oil and sunflower oil – should not be recommended for treatment of dry skin or for baby massage.'
