Massage a soothing blend of cold-pressed sunflower oil, calendula flowers, lavender,  and chamomile essential oils onto your baby after bathing to maintain babies soft skin. Babies thrive on close contact with others and love to be touched and caressed.
If you are unsure about proper massage techniques, please visit your local bookstore.
Chamomile is calming, anti-inflammatory and aids digestion and is also well known for helping with irritability, colic and improving sleep. Lavender is calming, soothing, antiseptic, and antibacterial and has the ability to restore balance and initiate healing in any body system that is out of balance.
When my children were younger, I would not use soaps etc. on their skin unless it was needed. I would let them soak/play in the tub and then apply Yemaya baby massage oil over their entire body… especially in the first 6 weeks.
