Massaging forms a good time to bond with the little one.. also it helps in the musculoskeletal system development but it should not be over enthusiastically done.. coconut oil is a good option as also olive oil and nowadays til oil as well. Mustard oil application is usually avoided due to fear of contamination.. any of the above can be used.. but allergies with the oil should be looked for and avoid if present.
