At what age should I stop giving my baby a message? He is just 7 months right now.

I stopped after she was 3, as she started going to school and it eventually stopped. I think one should massage the baby for as long as possible, as it makes the baby's bones and muscles strong. http://www.whattoexpect.com/first-year/benefits-of-infant-massage.aspx https://www.nct.org.uk/parenting/baby-massage

You can massage your child for aa long as u feel comfortable. Personally I had massaged my kids for 1 year regularly afterwhich I did so occasionally. Apart from making their joints supple and increasing blood circulation it is ideal for momma-infant bonding.

Ill massage baby as long as possible. Even my 3 year old i do a rub on of his oil for him daily after shower. Touch, creates bonding time as well. Its a good practice.

You can continue till the age of 1. Its a personal choice though. Massage is only meant for relaxation of the babies. I discontinued massage by 10 months.

I nv even massage my baby from day 1. No problem at all . Currently 9 Mths old
