You can do it after your baby\u2019s bath, for instance, when applying moisturizer, or during a morning diaper change. The key is to find a time when he enjoys it and you don\u2019t feel rushed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use a nontoxic moisturizer. <\/strong>An important part of development is exploring the body by putting hands, feet, etc. in the mouth, so be sure anything you use for massage is okay for your baby to ingest in small amounts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Up the relaxation factor by creating a \u201cspa\u201d atmosphere. <\/strong>Make sure the room is warm, dim the lights, and sing or talk softly to your baby.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start with gentle touch and increase pressure as your baby grows. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow your baby\u2019s cues. <\/strong>If your baby appears calm and content, keep going with the massage. If he seems restless or uncomfortable, stop the massage and try again another time. If he is consistently irritated by massage, check in with your pediatrician.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What About Toddler Massage?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Toddlers can benefit from massage in the same ways as infants, but they may be wigglier!
