Hi Willow,
That's fantastic that Logan likes being massaged - Euan is not particularly fussed on it.
I agree with Hoobley about using sweet almond oil for massage, without any blended essential oils. Olive oil is also good. If you don't have a burner, a drop of lavender and/or chamomile in a bowl of warm-hot water and placed under the cot will gently defuse the oil and help sleep. Lavender oil (always considered a 'safe' oil for babies) has some oestrogenic properties and although the effects of very small amounts are unknown (and TBH probably fine), there are some aromatherapists who now do not recommend using lavender in skin preparations for boy babies.
