US researchers have found that using sunflower oil to massage underweight premature babies can reduce the occurrence of infections.
Premature babies often die from infections caused by underdeveloped skin. In developing countries, more than half of babies born weighing less than 1.5 kilograms die. There is evidence that the skin's importance as a barrier to infection is important in premature infants whose skin is not fully developed.
US researchers found that newborns who received sunflower oil massage therapy had a 41% reduction in infections. If this method is used immediately after the baby is born, the best effect is achieved, which can reduce the blood infection rate of these babies by 56%.
The specific operation of this method is to use sunflower seed oil to massage the baby's skin all over the body, avoiding the scalp and face, three times a day in the first two weeks. Massage can continue after the newborn is discharged from the hospital, but the frequency can be reduced.
