Baby Body Massage: The ultimate way to nourish your baby

In many places in India, as soon as a woman’s pregnancy crosses the 3-month mark, bookings are made – not for the hospital, but for the maalishwaali! That’s how much in demand baby massage experts are, especially since they are fewer in number nowadays.

The demand isn’t in fact for the maalishwaali but for the maalish, or massage services she provides. Baby massage is something that’s been done for centuries and it’s still immensely popular. These benefits probably have a lot to do with this popularity.

So, if you’re wondering how to choose a massage oil for your newborn, read through our complete guide to learn about different kinds of newborn baby massage oils crafted with love by Maaté.
