Baby oil is mineral based and not recommended for massage. Use any egetable based oil. Grape seed or almond or apricot kernel all good.

That should be vegetable of course. Also just buy bottle from oil section at supermarket and you will get more for your money.

I used olive oil too. Lots of people in my class had almond oil from Holland and Barrett.

Sorry a tad late but i always use an edible oil for obvious reasons wth babies! I wouldn't recommend almond oil for use on babies due to nut allergies.
