How to massage your baby:

There are many different methods you may hear about but heres one that is easy to remember: 

_ Start from your baby's head and work your way down to the toes. 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 large, clockwise, circular motion 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 (...if they let you! You can leave this out if they seem uncomfortable with it). It's best to use soft strokes from the head along the shoulders and down the back either side of the spine to the buttocks. Once again, massage the legs down to the feet.

And there you go, one contented, relaxed baby and happy, proud mother :-)
