How to use
Using a small amount, work over baby’s body for a calming and bonding massage.
• The main benefits of baby massage are to promote bonding and attachment and provide sensory communication with your baby through touch.
• The best time to massage your baby is when they are quiet and alert, and in-between feeds.
• The room needs to be warm and comfortable for you and baby
• Gather everything you need together ie massage balm, towel, and nappy changing bag
• Wash your hands
• Undress baby, put a little massage balm on your hands and rub your hands together making a swishing noise so your baby can hear and associate the sound with massage – let your baby know its massage time
• You can do a full or part massage – it is up to you and your baby. Babies usually prefer firm but gentle strokes. Too light and it can feel ticklish so take your baby’s lead.
• Whilst you are massaging your baby, maintain eye contact so you can see whether they are enjoying it and talk or sing to your baby.
• Each body part only takes a few minutes. Finish the massage by placing your hands gently on baby. Replace nappy and cuddle your baby skin-to-skin if you wish before redressing.
