Now that you’re calm, here are some other tricks for getting started:
Only massage your newborn at a time when they are alert but aren’t irritable or fussy. If your baby is hungry, crying, or restless for any reason, massaging them will not actually calm them down. It may overstimulate them, causing them to be more distressed.
Remove any jewelry and wash your hands. Place your baby on a blanket on the floor, bed, or on their changing station.
Verbally engage with your newborn, place your palms together, and ask their permission “Would you like a massage?”. If they smile and make eye contact, the answer is “Yes.” If they are scrunching their face, crying, and arching back, you may want to find another time for massage.
Have a quality organic massage oil on hand. I especially love our new Kahlmi Calming Massage Oil, made with all organic ingredients.
As a new mom, I wish I had known about the role that touch and massage play in establishing the connection between mom and baby.
