I used to do baby massage on my DS1 (now 4 yrs) when he was a baby, stopped when he was about 10mo.
Sonce watching me do it on our baby, he's wanted me to massage him again, which is lovely. I do the same things as I do on the baby, with the same oil.

is there any advice / ideas on massage on older children? would it be Ok to put some essential oil in (eg lavender - he has difficulties relaxing? any comments?

not sure where to put this!
