“Are oil massages safe for babies?”

With fractionated coconut oil, that should be ok. I would recommend you to stay away from some essential oils while they are babies unless you know what the oil does and are using it responsibly. When children get to be around 2-3 then it is safer to use essential oils on them. If you do need to use essential oil for a reason, please make sure that it is safe for babies and only use a drop or two mixed with coconut oil.

Make sure that it doesn't contain anything allergic, too warm for the skin, or get in the nose or lungs where they would aspirate. Most babies enjoy the soothing touch.

Oil massages are safe to use as long as unscented oils are used when giving an oil massage to an infant. It is important to limit fragrances in any type of emollient in order to minimize the risk of causing irritation to a baby’s sensitive skin.
