Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Shishu Abhyanga (30 min).

Shishu Abhyanga is generally safe for healthy newborns, but we recommend consulting your pediatrician for infants under two weeks old or with medical concerns. Our therapists adapt pressure, techniques, and oils to suit each baby’s age and condition.

We use gentle, baby-safe oils such as organic sesame or fractionated coconut, chosen for their nourishing and calming properties. All oils are hypoallergenic and pediatrician-approved; we perform patch tests on request and can accommodate specific allergies or preferences.

Feed your baby 30–45 minutes before the session to avoid digestive discomfort. Bring a clean diaper, blanket, and comfort item. Dress in easy-to-remove layers and arrive a few minutes early so your baby can settle before the massage.

Parents often schedule Shishu Abhyanga once or twice weekly to observe calming and developmental benefits. Frequency can be adjusted based on your baby’s response, age, and needs. Our therapists will recommend a personalized plan during consultation.

Yes — parents are welcome to stay, comfort, and participate if desired. We can also provide privacy if you prefer. Our therapists will guide you through techniques and ensure the environment feels safe and supportive for both baby and parent.

Inform us about any sensitivities or eczema before booking. We offer patch tests, hypoallergenic oil options, and can alter techniques accordingly. For active rashes or infections, we recommend consulting your pediatrician prior to scheduling.
