I do give my baby a little massage after the bath. I usually use oil but if I run out I will use lotion. She loves it especially when I rub her feet. I also agree that it has many benefits for the baby.

I wouldn't use baby oil if it is made from mineral oil. Mineral oil is a by product of pretroleum oil and it will clog the pores and not allow the skin to breathe.
A message is VERY good for a baby but I would warm a small amount of olive oil instead of mineral oil.

I dont massage her with oil, but i put lotion on her after she gets out of the bath and she really loves it. sometime when she sits up i rub her shoulders for her, she is only 7 months so i can't really tell if its relaxing for her.. but she seems to like it, it makes her smile and giggle.
