Ru yi oil on baby head

Hi my nanny just applied ru yi / yu yee oil on my 2 month old’s head. Usually she only applies it to his tummy but she applied it on his head this time without informing us - is it safe for application to a baby’s head? Has anyone tried it before? Thanks! #firstbaby #1stimemom

My nanny did that too. But used the remnants after applying on the stomach and feet, not a fresh dosage. I was told it is to keep the baby's head warm. Since it is just the "leftover", not a fresh dosage, we let her be.

actually ruyi oil is quite strong for baby just imagine we adult apply it on skin will have warm sensation what more about baby skin I do not use it for my baby at all although my mom use it on me since born 😅

Exactly. It's good for kids especially if got tummy ache not for baby cos of the menthol feel

Ru yi oil is very menthol-y for a baby that age. I will only use for baby 6 mths and above. Why in the world did she apply on baby's head? Baby got headache ah? It can sting the eyes! Not safe to apply there
