When Baby is ill, has a fever or any infectious disease
If under medications ( e.g antibiotics ) wait at least 2 hours or give the massage 2 hours before giving the medication. Once the dose of medicine is given wait the reason being that once it is given it goes to the blood and circulation systems and the massage will increase that circulation so the medicine will hit it faster so it is best not to give baby massage directly after.
