WHEN TO MASSAGE YOUR BABY?

Massage is most effective when babies are in the quiet-alert state . Many people like to massage after a bath in a warm room. Respond to your baby’s cues. She is saying ‘yes’ to the massage if she smiles, looks at you and appears happy and relaxed. She is saying ‘no’ if she cries, turns or pulls away, puts a hand over her face or falls asleep.
