The best time for baby massage is when your baby is quiet but awake.
Here's a breakdown of when to aim for, and when to avoid:
-
Ideal Timing:
- When your baby is calm and alert.
- Not immediately after feeding.
- Not when the baby is sleepy.
-
How to Start:
- Begin with gentle warm-ups, rubbing the baby's skin from head to toe.
-
What to Do if Baby is Unhappy:
- If your baby is stiff, fussy, or irritable, shift to another body part.
- Or, simply stop the massage for the day.
