Baby Massage – Face

The head strokes can also be a great way to settle and soothe your baby – and it may encourage them to nod off as well.

Try not to cover your baby’s eyes when you are doing the forehead.

Rubbing the oil in gently over the scalp can be great if your baby has a bit of cradle cap.

The key points with baby massage
*do it when your baby is in a happy and alert mood, rather than being hungry or too tired.
*use a light oil such as grapeseed oil, olive oil or coconut oil
*Your touch can be slightly firm, rather than light as it may be too tickly
*make sure your baby is warm and comfortable
*you can use sensory lights to calm and distract your baby
