Hey New Mom, does your daily concern revolve around how well your baby sleeps, eats, and grows well - all at once? Then it’s time you gave your baby an oil massage. Wondering how this helps? Massaging your baby with a good, natural-ingredients-based baby massage oil gives plenty of relaxation to the baby. And its benefits extend to something more than that. So, let's tell you the top 5 benefits of using baby massage oil.

Top 5 Benefits of Using A Baby Massage Oil

Before you begin, let us tell you that the ideal time to give your baby an oil massage would be before bath or during bedtime. This, so that your baby can get maximum benefits out of it, like:

• Promotes Baby’s Healthy Growth

Regular oil massage, more specifically with a blend that contains sesame oil, helps healthy growth of the babies. According to a study, sesame oil massage significantly improved the blood flow, diameter and velocity in the femoral artery.

Also, the presence of ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), a herb known to enhance calcium phosphate nanocrystals (bone mineralization) helps strengthen baby's bones. Besides this, the very act of massaging aids baby’s healthy growth.

• Works Like A Sleep Spell

Regular massage not only aids baby's growth, it also helps improve their sleep quality. Research has shown a marked increase in a baby's post-massage sleep quality and time when massaged with a blend of natural oils. Along with this, triethylene glycol, a sleep-inducing compound present in Withania somnifera, further helps babies sleep better after a massage.

• Surprising Skin Nourisher

Natural baby massage oils contain loads of unsaturated and saturated fatty acids as well as vitamin E. These fatty acids deeply moisturise the skin while also enhancing skin’s hydration. They help soothe rough and dry skin, making it smooth and helping it appear brighter over time.

Some natural oils like sweet almond oil, also enhance skin’s penetration of herbs and oils that, in turn, help improve skin’s structure, thereby brightening its appearance.

• Fights Infection-Causing Germs

We bet you may not have expected this! But yes, when applied on the skin’s surface, the likes of saffron oil & sesame oil guard it against common infections due to their antibacterial properties.

Herbs like marigold too contain compounds such as terpinolene, cineole, and gamma-terpinene that effectively safeguard skin against common bacterial infections.

• Makes For A Great Mom-Baby Bonding Time

Want to bond with your baby, stress free? Then massaging your baby can be the ideal excuse. Unlike other occasions when the baby is cranky due to sleep or hunger, massaging can feel like a wonderful change. Filled with giggles, laughter, and lots of goo-goo, ga-gas of your baby, you both will surely look forward to this 'our time' together. And the best part - watching your baby sleep soundly afterward so you too can catch on a few precious Z's!
