What will be the effect

The doctor said that when you rub bread on the child’s skin, it will cause pain to him/her. In the video itself, the child is seen crying a lot because of this. The doctor says that the child’s complexion never becomes fair by rubbing milk and bread, rather it depends on our genes, so do not do all these things with the child at all.

Can a baby really be fair?

In an article published in Healthsite, Dr. Bhavi Modi of Mumbai’s Vridhi Homeopathy and Wellness Center has said that many Indian mothers think that massaging the child with oil every day will make his/her complexion fair but this is not true at all. The complexion depends on the genes of the child.

Whatever nature has made is correct

There is no way you can defeat nature and make your baby’s skin fair. This does not mean that you should completely avoid oil massage. Many experts believe that oil massage has no special significance in the early years of the baby, while some experts believe that it has a special significance of its own.

benefits of oil massage

Oil massage can help increase blood circulation, improve muscle and bone health, keep the baby warm and help him/her sleep better. However, it should not be done solely for the purpose of whitening the baby’s skin, as it will not do any good, says Dr Modi. For the same reason, avoid using ubtan, talcum powder or fairness creams on your baby, as it may cause skin allergies.
