For parents that practice massaging their babies and children, it is certainly worth knowing that Baby Oil is not the best thing to be using on your child’s skin. Baby Oil does not soak into the skin, instead it simply makes the skin greasy. Baby Oil can also block the pores and cause irritation due to the perfumes often used even in the more sensitive brands.
Rather than using marketed and usually over-priced baby oils, it is far better for your both your child’s skin and your own to simply use Olive Oil or alternatively, Grape Seed Oil. Not only is it better for skin but it is also better for your spends as it is far more cost-effective!

You are welcome x
I don’t think baby massage was really a ‘thing’ when my boys were small, but I hate baby oil I tried it on one of the boys when they had dry skin as a baby and it stains everything.

we were advised by the nurses in the hospital to use olive oil and its amazing would never go and buy expensive creams and lotions now !.
