Hi Rkzat,

Massage is really good for newborn babies. It helps with their development due to the eye contact and interaction you give them during the massage and aids with your bonding. Most oils are fine to use except olive oil as a few years ago a research study found that it causes damage to newborn skin.

There is a lot of advice about baby massage online or you may be able to attend a baby massage class nearby.

Good luck

Absolutely

I did baby massage with my son at our local children's centre and we used olive oil!

I forgot to say that it had to be extra Virgin

Why would it make a difference? Olive oil is olive oil surely?

[KellyTrip in reply to roxannacar]

Who knows! We had it provided.

When did you attend the massage groups? It's taking quite some time for the research to be filtered out to everyone sadly.
