best baby massage
Choose a moment in which you and your child are relaxed and calm. A half hour after the baby has eaten is recommended.
Be sure that the room temperature is warm (78 degrees Fahrenheit). Undress the baby completely, if the weather is cold or humid cover the areas of the baby's body that are not being massaged.
Put the baby on a soft surface so your baby will feel comfortable and secure. Keep some little pillows handy.
It is a good idea to put some cream on your hands and rub them together so they will be soft and warm.
Basically the massage flows from the head to the toes. With soft and gentle touches you will work on the head, face, shoulders, arms, chest, stomach and legs.
While you massage your baby look tenderly at him/her. Doing this you stimulate all the senses of the baby and establish a more intense visual and tactile communication. Feel free to speak to your baby, do not inhibit yourself.
Remember that your touches should be tender do not make mechanic motions. Try to be flexible by not keeping a rigid routine.
