A. The purpose of giving a gentle massage to your baby you can make use of any natural oil like coconut oil, almond oil, olive oil, sesame oil which ever you wish to. the massage should be given in a very gentle manner that relaxes your baby and puts him to a better sleep, oil isn't going to cure rashes.. consult your doctor

A. hi dear Olive oil is good when the infant has a normal skin. But avoid it if the baby's skin is permeable and sensitive because the oil is rich in oleic acid, which makes the skin permeable and weakens its natural defenses. There is also less of linoleic acid, the fatty acid that strengthens skin barriers.
