When a mother gives birth to her child, she suddenly passes through a profound transformation in herself; she always tries the very best for her baby. It can be nighttime routines, baths to diet or the products she chooses through the filtered lens of the baby’s well-being while picking any product for her baby as a mother gives her purest vibes to her baby showering all the love and care. One of the amazing practices that make this bond wonderful is massaging your little baby. 

 

Why give a massage to your baby? 

Improved Circulation 
As per Ayurveda, ABHYANGA is the process of massaging in ancient times in India, which should be followed in order to balance the Vata dosha of a baby. The best part of baby body massage is that it improves the blood flow of the body. 
 
Relaxation and Sleep 
The soothing touch of a mother and some soft music, along with the massage routine, can do wonders for your baby, making it enjoyable and super relaxing, resulting in your baby sleeping peacefully. 
 
Strengthened Bond 
Massaging a baby with the intention of giving her that pure motherly warmth and exchanging each other’s positive vibes builds a strong bond between the mother and the baby. Those cute giggles while massaging will leave you with nothing but the best feeling to keep in your heart forever.  
 
Digestive Aid 
With proper oil massage, you can help your baby to ease out gas and other digestive problems that the baby must be facing. For this, you can prefer Maatrisneh baby massage oil enriched with 27 plus herbs like Chandan, Bala, Lakshadi and Desi Ghee, which promotes relaxation and strong bones and is best absorbed in the baby’s body.
 
Reduced Stress and Anxiety 
The best part of massaging a baby is it helps the baby to be in a state of peace, which is a must for the baby and the mother. 

 

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. 

 

Tips for a good massage  

Use Quality Oil 
Always use quality oils that are free from mineral oil, toxins, and chemicals found in many products, so always buy organic products for your baby. 
Be patient 
Sometimes, your baby may take time to adjust to the massaging, so try to be consistent and patient while giving a massage to the baby. 
Add some music 
Incorporating some sweet melodies of music can make your massaging relaxing, enjoyable, and more fun. 
Make it a routine 
You should make massage a part of your baby’s daily routine in order to have a proper bonding and strengthening experience.
