Can I use cooling oil during breastfeeding?

It is not recommended to use cooling oil during breastfeeding because the cooling oil will penetrate into the baby's skin during the contact between the mother and the baby. At the same time, the cooling oil has a pungent smell to the baby.

Infants and young children lack glucose phosphate dehydrogenase in their bodies, and camphor can penetrate the blood through the delicate skin and mucous membranes of newborns, dissolving red blood cells into bilirubin. Excessive bilirubin in the blood can cause neonatal jaundice, yellowing of the whole body, bluish lips, brown urine, refusal to suck milk, weak crying, drowsiness, and even symptoms of brain cell damage such as convulsions and seizures. Even after treatment, the baby's brain function may be damaged.

In addition, cooling oil is quite irritating and its smell can also stimulate babies to cry.

If you are bitten by mosquitoes in the summer, you can use mosquito nets and screens to prevent them, and use aloe vera juice to relieve itching; placing one or two pots of blooming night-blooming jasmine, jasmine, mint or roses in the house also has a certain mosquito repellent effect.
