Q:ow old does my baby have to be to start using the bath drops?
A: You can use the bath drops once the baby is past 4 weeks old. Bebé Michele products are all-natural and are made of the purest oils. However we feel 4 weeks allows the babies skin to adjust to the outside world, and always remember you can ask you pediatrician what is right for your baby, they may say you can use them right away or wait a little longer depending on your baby's skin.

Q: Should I wash my hands after I finish massaging the baby or just rub it into my hands?
A: It is a wonderful moisturizer for your hands, however we recommend you wash your hands right after you massage the baby for a couple reasons, these are:
* Your hands are slippery and you would not want to pick up your baby with
slippery hands
* The baby may be ready for a bottle and you don't want to get any of
the oil on the bottle or nipple
Q: How often should I massage my baby?
A: Each evening before bed is appropriate and will benefit them most.
Q: How hard should I rub when massaging my baby?
A: Just gently rub the baby, if the baby seems upset or in pain, stop and wait a few minutes then begin again with a lighter touch.
Q: What if my baby does not like to be massaged?
A: Most babies enjoy being massaged, as well as the bonding time it creates, however if you feel your baby does not enjoy it then make the best decision for you and your baby.
