Typically, oil massages can be started from the first few weeks after birth, but the frequency and duration should gradually reduce as your baby grows older. In the early months, massage helps with bonding, relaxation, and even improves circulation and skin health. As your baby reaches 6-12 months, you can reduce the frequency of massages to once or twice a week. By the time your baby reaches 1 year and beyond, oil massages are optional and can be used occasionally for relaxation or when your baby has dry skin. Always use baby-safe oils (like coconut or almond oil) and test for any allergic reactions before applying it. If your baby enjoys the massage, it can be a lovely bonding activity to continue, but it’s important to pay attention to their comfort and any signs of irritation.
