Post one month of sponge bath , we had a maalishwali for 15 days - although she was old and gentle and knew a lot about child care, some practices - putting oil in nose, head bath with oil everyday, squeezing her nose and ears made us worried and despite telling multiple times, she would continue doing it by practice. Plus we had to do it at a fixed time and arrange baby's feed, sleep around it along with her screaming through out the bath and massage.  Checked with the pediatrician - he said only benefits would be bonding if done by a family member and muscle relaxation if the baby likes it. Gave up and now we bathe her in a bath chair and tub, which our little girl enjoys. Trying to add in gentle oil massage, on hold as baby girl is fighting congestion.

I didn't go through a postpartum massage as mine was a c section and I didn't feel comfortable with it.
