You're not the only one who loves a gentle massage. There are numerous rewards for you and baby when you engage in a regular massage routine with your wee one. Here are three of the many benefits for you to consider:
~ Bonding -your touch, skin on skin. Nothing brings you closer than your loving touch on baby's skin
~ Relaxation - settle down now sweet one, drift off to sleep. Mama's gotta have a break
~ Stimulation - baby's circulatory system, muscle development, emotional well being.
Do This: Put a dime size squirt of a carrier oil in the palm of your hand - sweet almond oil or Young Living's V6 Oil. Add a drop or two of Lavender, Myrrh, or Gentle Baby Essential Oil. Use only Young Living Oils so you are guaranteed to have the purest therapeutic oils on Earth. Rub your hands together and then gently caress those little feets, massaging the oil into the bottoms and tops of them. This is a good time to make eye contact and talk soothingly to your wee one. You can stroke the feet with your thumbs. Place the palms of your hands gently on baby's chest and let the remaining oil do its magic while baby breathes in the relaxing scents. Do yourself and the little one a favor. Start your baby massage routine today. Don't try to get by without Young Living's amazing Gentle Baby Essential Oil Blend. Why would you?!
