Massage oil
Hi, I wanted to check if badam oil and olive oil good to massage a 2 month old baby? I am currently using j&j baby oil and I noticed my baby's skin getting more dry. I want to change the massage oil. So can suggest any massage oil? I wanted to use either badam or olive oil, are they safe on infants?
