Many parents are reluctant to massaging their babies because they feel that it is too hard. Some are really concern not to hurt the little ones and to make them cry. But the fact is that massaging the baby with relaxing oil is really a lot of fun for both you and your baby. The baby massage techniques are really easy to grasp. The important thing is to take in the consideration that the baby’s skin is fragile. This is why we need to make gentle moves that will please the baby.
First of all we need to establish a communication channel with him. It is not wrong to verbalise our thoughts. We need to inform them that we will be performing the massage. In this case we might use a smiling face and a very cheerful sound. This will transmit the need for fun so the baby will relax immediately. We need to do this out of sheer pleasure; otherwise the little one will feel tension.
When massaging, we may start with some standing positions. Only keeping our warm hand on the baby will make him feel good. After that we may massage his little feet and arms. We can go on to the tummy in order to release pain. Also a lot of fun is massaging the back. We need to be careful in this position because the baby tends to move a lot. In this way we will learn more and will have greater satisfaction.
