Benefits of an Oil Massage for Your Baby.
If you would like to use oil for baby massage we recommend organic cold pressed unrefined light edible vegetable fruit nut or seed oils. This is especially important as babies may ingest some of the oil during the massage. For infants without any special needs the International Association of Infant Massage recommends the use of natural edible and food-grade fruit or vegetable oil. Any vegetable oil that is rich in polyunsaturated oils is the best oil for baby skin.
