You read that right, from 2 weeks old you can begin to gently massage your baby.

The main thing you need to be aware of is the type of oil you're using on your baby's skin, as some of the more refined oils we use as adults may result in a reaction on your baby's skin.

I always advice parents to do a patch test first when using oils. Also if you opt to start from 2 weeks it's important to remember that their skin barrier is still developing so start off with specific areas like feet & hands as you gently introduce oils & lotions.
Waiting also gives the umbilical cord stump to fall off and then you can begin tummy massages for gas, colic and indigestion.

Baby massage is such a great way to bond with your infant because of the skin-to-skin contact, you'll grow your bond with baby while helping to feel more relaxed & aid in their development.

Relieving baby phlegm with this simple home remedy
The Spinning Wheel Method
- Do it during tummy time of 45 minutes - 1 hour after meals
- Using a baby safe oil
- Starting from the left section in-between the backbone & shoulder area, apply gentle but firm pressure and move your index & middle finger in a clockwise direction
- Continue this on the areas highlighted in the above diagram
- Repeat this 5 - 10 times per section

For babies struggling with congestion and phlegm is a great massage technique to try. Not only does it provide cough relief and improve upper respiratory health, but it also strengthens muscle tone and helps infants prepare for tummy time.

Setting yourself and baby up for massage is equally as important as the massage itself.

One key thing to remember is to enter into that space with a positive mindset as babies are king at reading non-verbal cues. When you're calm and relaxed your baby will reflect those same feelings.

The key during this massage is to establish skin-skin bond, form a routine and heal whichever discomfort your baby is feeling.

👶💗 If your baby is experiencing constipation or gas, baby massage is a highly effective method to alleviate their discomfort.
Doing a daily belly massage for 2 - 5 minutes has been shown to help your baby pass stool regularly and without discomfort.

When massaging your baby, try to consistently move your hands in a clockwise motion, as this will be most beneficial for their digestive tract. Do this 5 - 10 times daily.
The Paddle stroke
1. Use your palms and a gently oil
2. Starting from below their sternum and stroke all the way down to below their belly button
3. Alternate between your left and right palm continuously
4. Repeat 5 - 10 times for great effect
