How To Massage A Baby | Step By Step Techniques + Benefits
A baby massage is one of the most rewarding experiences for both mother and child. But you need to know exactly what you’re doing. So, here are our top tips when it comes to giving your baby a massage the right way.
First, here’s some answers to your most asked questions.
Why massage is important for baby?
Giving your baby her first massage is extremely important, because it has so many benefits! Massages are great for both mother and child, they help babies sleep better, relax, hydrate skin as well as helping mother and child form a stronger bond.
When to start oil massage for newborn baby?
Newborns can be given oil massages from the age of two weeks. Try to work it in during feedings as this is when they’ll be most relaxed.
How to massage baby tummy for gas?
When massaging a baby's tummy remember its a delicate area, so use minimum pressure.
Start from the top of the belly. Place your palm just below her chest bone and make clockwise circular strokes across the belly and around the belly button.
Note: Do not touch the belly button.
In young babies, the belly button/navel can be sensitive because of the umbilical cord stub.
If done properly, this will help relieve gas.
For the massage you will need:
A massage oil
A towel
Regular nappy bag
Face cream
Mama Earth Face Cream: goo.gl/wV8KsZ
I prefer placing my baby on the floor with a soft towel placed underneath her. The towel helps absorb any excess oil.
You could also place her on a table and perform the massage.
Make sure the room temperature isn’t too hot or too cold.
Before you start the massage ask for permission
It’s important that your child is aware that you’re going to be giving her a massage. If she seems hesitant or irritable, you’ll only end up upsetting her.
Talk, smile and laugh while massaging your baby. Maintain eye contact whenever possible.
This will help keep her alert and attentive and spike her interest, making it easier for you to massage her.
The techniques in this video or all that I have personally used and my baby has loved it! However, some mother’s prefer using a different order, or a slightly different technique, all of that is fine as long as you remember to be gentle and measured when massaging your baby.
To get the full techniques you’ll have to watch the whole video!

Wow, this is amazing, it's almost like doing a therapy massage. I'm pregnant now, and this is going to be my third baby. The first and second baby I had, I did not know how to look after them properly the way I should have, because my mother was not there to help me. I had to learn how to look after my children by myself. Now that I have a mobile in my life, I can finally go on KZread and look for tips and ways of how to look after my children and my third baby properly. I am very grateful for all your channels and videos on how to look after a baby. So, I thank-you for uploading these videos for us. Thank-you very much ❤️🥲🙏

Nisarga Never use any oil you cannot eat!!! This means that 99.99% of massage oils sold in stores (especially for babies) are harmful. Because everything what get on your skin so it gets into your bloodstream and if you look at the composition of almost all oils, creams, soaps, make-ups and similar things that are used in contact with the skin, they have a lot of preservatives that are not only toxic to adults, but also carcinogens. That's is so many cancers there! The worst thing you can do for your baby is to use any product from Johnson & Johnson. You can make the best massage oil for babies yourself. Cold press olive oil or grape seed oil and add a few drops of 100% essential lavender oil, for example from DOTERRA.
How you bath your baby please suggest
How many times in a week can I massage my 3 months old baby?
Which oil will be suitable for massage? I used pure coconut oil and my baby ended up having hot rashes... it was bad and she still have some in her neck area. Can you advise me whether I can message for my baby now or should I wait until the rashes are completely gone and if can means, which oil will be perfect for her? Thanks ❤

This is really a very good video and this tips are very useful for new moms... I also took all such precautions when my daughter was just born. After massaging with olive or almond oil. For cleansing and bathing you can try Bioderma atoderm intensive soap for your babies... Keep Your Baby’s Skin Cleansed & Moisturized! Bioderma Atoderm Pain Soap bar is suitable for daily hygiene of very dry skin. It moisturizes due to its content in glycerin and Shea butter and has a calming action due to rhamnose. Due to the Skin Barrier Technology, it respects the skin's balance and helps to rebuild the skin barrier. It provides long-lasting comfort to the skin while being able to cleanse the skin without disrupting the skin barrier's integrity.

Is there a reason why baby massage is so diametrically different from massage for adults? Because in an adult, 80% of the massage strokes must be towards the heart and only 20% from the heart, which in this video almost all the massage strokes were from the heart!
