Parenting Tips: You must have heard many benefits of massaging a newborn baby from your grandparents, but do you know the right way to massage? Massaging the baby not only provides many health benefits to the baby but also strengthens the baby's bond with the mother. Massage relaxes the baby, which helps him sleep well. Despite so many benefits of massage, very few people know when and how to massage the baby.
Be careful while massaging
- Children should be massaged while lying in the sun so that their body can get vitamin D from the sun rays. This will strengthen the bones.
- Almond oil massage is more beneficial for children with weak, underdeveloped bodies and those weakened by some disease.
- This task should be done by the mother of the child herself. The mother's love and affection towards the child has a positive effect on the child and the massage is also done in a safe manner.
- If there is any disease then massage should be done by a specialist.
- The baby should be massaged with olive oil, butter and ghee. If these things are not available then use coconut or mustard oil.
- The baby should be massaged with light pressure and with care. Body parts should be massaged in a circular motion for eight to ten times and then exercise should be done. This strengthens the joints.
- For a back massage, lay the baby on his stomach. Using both hands, gently massage the baby from the neck to the hips with the fingers. Massage in a circular motion while applying gentle pressure on the baby's spine.
