When should I massage my baby?

When you want to spend some special time bonding with your baby, a massage is usually a wonderful option. In general, about half an hour after feeding is a good time for massage in order to avoid any discomfort. After a bath or before settling your little one down to sleep are also both ideal times. Infant massage is best done when you have some time and are not in a hurry. However, if your attempts to massage your baby are met with resistance or your baby doesn't cooperate with you don't become frustrated, rather try again at another time.

What else is important before I start?

Put your bottle of NaturalEco Infant Massage Oil into a bowl or jug of hot water to warm. Make sure you are in a warm environment and undress your baby completely. You may prefer to cover the areas of your baby's body not being massaged if the weather is cold. Place your little one on a soft surface and ensure that your hands are warm. Now you are ready to start!

How should I massage my baby?

Start from your baby's head and work your way down to the toes. It is best to leave out your baby's face and genital region altogether. You should use a soft, gentle pressure no firmer than you can comfortably press on your own eyelids when your eyes are closed.

Start on your baby's temples and gently move to the top of the head, the area around the ears and along the jaw line. Gently massage the back and sides of the neck and move slowly down to the shoulders and upper chest.

Next, stroke the armpits and then along the arms with your finger and thumb encircling the arm. At the joints you may like to move them back and forth very slowly and gently but be careful especially of the sensitive elbow joint.

In a clockwise, circular motion gently massage the abdomen. Move to the legs and massage as you did the arms. The feet are next and this part of the massage will really relax your baby. Put gentle pressure on the toes one by one and then gently rub the rest of the foot and the heels.

Turn your baby over to massage his/her back. It's best to use soft strokes from the head along the shoulders and down the back on either side of the spine to the buttocks. Once again, massage the legs down to the feet.

Gently repeat the whole process from head to toes.

If your baby wants to move or change position, don't worry, just move to a newly-accessible area and return to the part you had been massaging later on.

You can also talk to your baby or sing while you are massaging. However, maintain quiet peaceful sounds in order to enhance the relaxing effect. NaturalEco's Rocking Chair CD has a wonderful relaxing musical sound track that perfectly suits the medium of infant and baby massage. Infant Massage Oil, Blissful Baby Aromatic Massage Oil and NaturalEco's Rocking Chair CD are available as a Blissful Baby Combo Pack at a special reduced price.
