Yu Yee Oil is transitional use by Chinese in Malaysia to curb wind on newborns and babies. My mother use it since when I was newborn, and now I am using it on my Kit Yi.
Currently in Malaysia, there are two brands of Yu Yee Oil in the market. The one I am currently using is Cap Limau or in English, is Lime Brand. There is another brand which is Cap Kapal or in English, is Ship Brand. According to the seller, Cap Limau is more suitable for newborn babies as it is milder compare to the latter.
Yu Yee oil is being applied to Kit Yi's belly each time after bath, and also to the top of the head. This is to curb wind, and avoid cold. For newborn babies, apply 2 drops of the Yu Yee oil on your palm, and rub your hands together to heat up the oil. After that, gently place your palm onto the babies tummy and also on the top of the head. As the babies is still very young, we do not want to apply too much of the oil on her body, as it might be too harsh on her skin.
