This group is best for babies 0-6 months old. Once they are crawling and walking, they are too busy moving to accept a massage! However, all little ones can benefit from massage and we are happy to give you the support you need to use massage with your mobile babies, toddlers, and even preschoolers!

Choose an unscented vegetable oil. Your baby will absorb the oil through their skin and may put their fingers in their mouth, so vegetable oils are best. We start with unscented oil to promote bonding. What your baby smells is you! We have almond oil available. We recommend testing any new product on baby's skin before using it all over their body.
