Since old times, massage has been known to be helpful in strengthening baby's muscles, and for pacifying an irritable baby to sleep. Massaging a baby is usually being performed using oil so that the hand can go smoothly on the skin.
Using the right oil for your baby's skin also provides comfort and less friction. But if you use the wrong massage oil, your baby will feel irritated and uncomfortable, and your hands will be sticky.
Before using it for your baby, check first if it is pure. Cold-pressed oils and those without pesticides are considered the right baby massage oil. Lighter ones are easier to use because it does not leave thick residue on the hands and baby's skin.
There are two choices of massage oil for your baby: vegetable oils or commercialized ones. Vegetable oils have huge amounts of linoleic acid that serves as skin barrier for your baby's sensitive skin. Grapeseed and safflower oils are considered to be the best vegetable oils for baby massage; but it is still up to you.
But there are a lot of important factors to be considered before choosing the massage oil for your baby. For instance, there are babies that are allergic to nuts or gluten. To avoid negative effects, do not use wheat germ oil, peanut oil, or any strong oil because it may cause an allergic reaction or harm to your baby's sensitive skin. Test the massage oil on the skin of your baby first before using it immediately. To do this, apply a very small droplet of oil to your baby, either on his arm or leg. After 24 hours and your baby did not feel any irritation, you can now use the oil to massage his whole body.
