Promoting growth and development: Massaging a baby with oil helps to stimulate their growth and development by increasing blood flow and oxygen to the muscles and bones.
Improving sleep: The gentle touch of a massage can help to relax a newborn and promote better sleep.
Easing colic: Massaging a baby's stomach with oil can help to relieve gas and ease colic symptoms.
Improving skin condition: Massaging a baby with oil can help to keep their skin moisturized and prevent dryness, which can be especially beneficial for newborns with eczema or other skin conditions.
Bonding with caregivers: Massaging a baby can be a way for parents and caregivers to bond with the baby and create a special moment for them to enjoy together.
It's important to always use a mild, hypoallergenic, and safe oil for massage. It's also recommend to always use a small amount and check for any reaction on the baby before giving a full body massage. Always check with the pediatrician before starting any massage routine on newborns.
