Worried about baby's health
I gave massage To my 3month old baby with coconut oil mixed with saffron...igave the oil on head also..later I came to know saffron tht have been bought was low quality cost 50rs...when collected those saffron from coconut oil I found those saffron are fake saffron..

It's very individual who is sensitive to which substance.
Rather than the fake saffron,it's probably the oil causing the problem.
Stop oil massage till rashes disappear,apply elovera cream twice a day till improvement.
Start oil massage again,if rashes reappear,change the oil.
But contrary to common belief,oil massage gives NO extra benefit to babies,but a good healthy feeding schedule and hygiene is more important.
