Brief Answer: Relax. Detailed Answer: Hi. Thanks for your query. First I congratulate you on arrival of new family member. Complexion of baby depends upon various factors like environmental factors and most important genetic. Yes you can use olive oil and almond oil for gentle body massage of your baby. Avoid anything on face as newborn has very delicate skin. You can take omega 3 softgels. I also suggest you to take nutritious diet rich in green leafy vegetables,fruit,cereals,pulses,milk and milk products. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist further.

Brief Answer: Hi Detailed Answer: Thanks for your follow up. Yes baby should be kept at temperature 27to 30 can initially. Do not apply any cosmetic on her face. Do not worry about hair on body. In case baby is active,passing adequate quantity of urine ,sleeping well and gaining adequate weight this means that she is getting adequate amount of milk. No extra care is required,bathe your baby daily,do massage,exclusively breastfeed. Hope this helps. Take care.
