Olive oil or Almond Oil ?

Hi,

Which is better for massaging infants ? Is there
separate olive oil for massage apart from cooking
oil ?

Thanks

I've always preferred almond oil, because of the nice smell,
but I don't know if one is better than the other. Both have
been recommended to me as excellent skin oils. There are special
baby-massage oils, but they are often very expensive and smell
awfully sweet. Personally I use a calendula based oil for DS,
but I haven't seen that available outside Europe.

I'd be nervous of using any nut based oil, but we've a lot of history of
allergies in the family. You can get medicated olive oil from pharmasists
usually. that's what I used.
