I often hear and see about baby massage at the TV shows and actually I really feel so anxious to know more about that. Recently, I just recovered a little about it. Therefore now I want to share it to you, especially a mother with her baby.
Massaging your baby gives you a time when you can relax and be together and it can have lots of wonderful benefits too. Baby massage can be relaxing for mum and baby. Babies can get stressed being in new environments and they also pick up on your stress. Taking time out together for a massage teaches baby how to relax, and you will relax too.
Bonding with your baby can take time and doesn’t always happen easily. The bonding experience can be encouraged through touch, through spending quality time together and through eye-to-eye contact with you baby. Studies have suggested that physical contact is good for babies, improving their breathing, circulation, digestion and growth. That is what you can get when you do the baby massage.
If you interested in what I have said above, I think you also interested in doing it. Before you start to massage your lovely one, make sure you have prepared such things like massage oil which is suitable to use on a baby, a warm room (78 degrees Fahrenheit), and a comfortable surface.
Try to pick a time when you will not be disturbed and when you both can relax. For your baby, it should not be too soon after a feed, or so close to a meal that the baby will be hungry and distracted. Equally, don’t pick a time when your baby is really tired and just wants a bit of peace, although don’t be surprised if they nod off during the massage. After your baby’s bathtime might be a good idea, provided they are not too sleepy. Also make sure that you pick a time when you can put aside thoughts and worries about chores or work. Remember that your baby relies on non-verbal communication and will pick up on your mood if you are tense. Relax, so that you are only transmitting good vibes to your child.
Some health professionals feel that you should not carry out massage on newborn babies, or should wait until they have had their first full course of immunizations (at around 3-4 months). Conversely, others feel you should start as soon as possible, as massage can help to provide a smooth transition from the womb to the outside world and that massage is particularly beneficial to premature babies. Massage is also a popular option for coping with colic, a problem normally only encountered in babies under 3-4 months. If you have any concerns about massaging your baby - and especially if your baby is sick - you should consult an appropriate health professional first.
