~~ BETTER CHILD PUT INTO PRACTICE Roxanne Webb, mother of one, massages her son as part of his evening bath-time routine. She believes that it brings him joy and allows them to bond as mother and son. She describes it as their “special time together amidst the chaos of life”. Kelli Rom, mother of three, also incorporates baby massage to soothe her children, explaining that “the massages after a feed really soothed them and helped them sleep”. MANAGING THE MASSAGES Friedman offers a few pointers to remember when massaging: « Ask permission from your baby before you start Pay attention to baby cues - stop or move on to another part of the body if anything causes your baby discomfort Work on a stable surface - the floor is best Keep relaxed eye contact Keep your hands soft Stick to simple oils J SIMPLE MASSAGE OILS « Chamomile - good for sleep induction, colic, and teething « Fennel - good for colic « Eucalyptus - good for soothing colds and coughs (put a drop on a tissue above the vest or dab under the feet) « Tea tree - good for thrush and immunity These essential oils must always be diluted with base oils such as almond, sesame, or coconut. For every one drop of essential oil, use 10 ml of base oil. The blend can be warmed in hot water before applying it to warm hands. And remember to always end by thanking your baby. For parents and caregivers, it’s advisable to listen to the experts, but it’s also important to remember that each baby is different and has a unique set of wants and needs. In light of this, Friedman suggests that you “let your baby and hands be your guide and go with the flow”. =
