Give your newborn their first foot massage

A foot massage is very relaxing. Begin by putting soft pressure on each toe, then the foot and return to the toes again. Sometimes a foot massage can help reduce stomach pain. Caress gently all the toes. Apply circular movements at the heels. Choose a moment in which you and your baby are relaxed and calm. 
Put the baby on a soft surface so your baby will feel comfortable and secure. Keep some little pillows handy.
It is a good idea to put some cream on your hands and rub them together so they will be soft and warm. While you massage your baby, look tenderly at him/her. Doing this you stimulate all the senses of the baby and establish a more intense visual and tactile communication. Feel free to speak to your baby, do not inhibit yourself.
Remember that your touches should be tender - do not make mechanic motions. Try to be flexible by not keeping a rigid routine.


If the baby wants to change position, let him/her do so. Do not force your baby to keep a position, you can go back to these areas later on.
