A newborn baby is indeed an expression and emotion of first love for the mother. A small and tiny gift of love, which is bestowed by the nature of God and how it rests in an abode of care and warmth by the mother, the entire feeling and emotion is indeed inexpressible and wordless.
For a lady, her baby is the most priceless asset and a life of her creation. Her best feeling would be to see her creation and her love, grow beautifully and perfectly. Her greatest concern will be to make sure that the baby doesn't comes in contact with any harmful thing, which may affect them.
In order for a baby to grow well and foster properly, infants are subjected to baby oil massages in their infancy phase, as it helps them in growing and nurturing their body and skin. Baby oil massages are a tool of development for the infants as they help in developing the baby's bones, muscles, and skin.
Most people tend to massage babies with commercially available products, but they consist of harmful ingredients, like, paraffin and parabens, which affect the baby negatively and are harmful. So, what could be a better alternative?
Traditionally, professional baby massage ladies, use natural oils for applying on the babies and since, they are directly used, they don't contain harmful components to do any harm to the child.
Some of the best natural oils used for baby massage are-
