One of the amazing practices that make this bond wonderful is massaging your little baby.
Why give a massage to your baby?
How do you massage your baby?
- Create a good environment: First of all, you should make sure that the room is warm and there is no noise coming from the outside or inside. Newborns are very vulnerable to their environment, and keeping the environment serene will help the baby calm down.
- Use Baby-Friendly Oils: Massaging your baby with baby oils will enhance the experience and make it very enjoyable for the baby. These oils make your hands move easily over their skin without any friction that may cause them discomfort.
Note - One can use Organic Dew Maatrisneh Baby Massage Oil as it is fully organic and not scented, which helps the baby stay comfortable during massage sessions.
- Start with the legs: Stroke the legs from the thigh to the foot region while massaging by cupping the muscles between your fingers and applying pressure to encourage blood circulation.
- Please move to the arms: From the shoulders to the hands, draw little circles on the backs of their palms, which activate nerve receptors.
- Focus on the chest: Relax the limbs using some small circles on the tummy area as well as some heart-relevant movements on the chest to help in blood circulation as well as digestion of food.
Back massage: Place your baby on their back and start rubbing their neck to the lower back to help release tension and increase blood flow.
