Baby massage technique, giving your baby a gentle soothing experience

In the process of caring for the baby, baby massage is a very important topic. Baby massage can help your baby improve his or her immunity. Infant massage is a scientific health care method. Proper massage can not only stimulate the sensory nerves on the baby's skin, but also promote the development of the nervous system and cognitive development.

1. Preparation

1: 1. When massaging your baby, you should be in a comfortable and warm environment, with the room temperature controlled at around 28-30℃, and you can also play some soft music. 2. Before doing the massage, parents should cut their nails short and take off any jewelry on their hands to avoid scratching the baby. 3. Wash your hands with warm water, then apply some olive oil or non-irritating baby moisturizer to moisturize your hands.

2. Touching process

1: You can start from the baby's face, use the tips of your two thumbs to touch the baby's eyebrows alternately upwards, then slide from the center of the eyebrows outward to the temples, and stay at the temples for a while, and then the action ends. Then slide from the center of the forehead to the temples on both sides, slowly covering the entire forehead.

2: Use the tips of your two thumbs to touch the chin, and slide from the center of the chin to the outside and upwards to the front of the ears, so that the baby's upper and lower lips are in a smiling shape.

3: When touching the head, place your left hand behind the right side of the baby's head and lift it slightly. Use the fingertips of your right hand to gradually slide from the forehead to behind the ear, and stay for a while to gently press behind the ear. The same method applies when changing hands.

4: Chest massage: Take off the baby's clothes, and use the tips of your index and middle fingers to push alternately from the outside and lower to the upper side of the opposite side to the shoulder, once on each side, and draw a big cross on the chest. Then use your two thumbs to touch the center of the sternum from top to bottom. During this process, be careful not to let your baby catch a cold! Adjust the indoor temperature.

5: Abdominal massage: Use both hands alternately to slide clockwise starting from the right lower abdomen, making the massage route form a circle with the opening facing downward. Note: If the baby's umbilical cord scab has not fallen off, there is no need to perform abdominal massage.

6: Touching the upper limbs: Gently lift the baby's arms and massage every inch of skin from top to bottom. Use the tip of your thumb to touch the baby's palm and the other three fingers to massage the back of the hand. Use the pads of four fingers to touch each finger from base to tip. The same method applies to the lower limbs.

7: Touch the back: Turn the baby over gently and let the baby lie comfortably. Apply some moisturizer on both hands, and use the middle three fingers of both hands to slide from top to bottom and outward at the same time, centering on the spine, to touch the entire back. Then slide from the back of the neck down along both sides of the spine to the buttocks. Make circular strokes on your buttocks, alternating between clockwise and counterclockwise.

Three: When you massage your baby,

Start from the head and do it according to the baby's preferences. If the baby likes touching the back, then the mother can start from the back first.
