The weight is good. No worries there.
Massage is great for babies under they are ambulatory on their own and can exercise their muscles by running , crawling and walking. Until then you can massage the body to tone their muscles for them .
Next Steps
Once child runs and is very active , you can stop the massages. One can do massage to moisturise the skin in winters too.

Hi
Body massage is not required daily. You may give it once in a while.
Body massage helps stimulate blood circulation to skin,soothens the baby and provides an opportunity for better bonding.
