Massages, when done in the right way, can help your baby feel nurtured and loved. Include infant massages in your daily baby care routine for these wondrous benefits:
-
Relief from gas
Gas is one of the most common problems in infants. It can cause discomfort and make your baby fussy. In many cases, gas in infants leads to bloating as well. Giving your baby a massage is a good way to help him/her get relief from gas. -
Improved sleep
Massaging your baby is a great way to help him/her feel relaxed which, in turn, may improve sleep. Newborns often have trouble sleeping at night. If your baby is often cranky and fussy during nighttime, give him/her a gentle massage before bedtime. -
Relief from constipation
It’s common for infants to have constipation once in a while. But at times, hard stools can be bothersome and cause discomfort for your baby. If your baby doesn’t poop for a couple of days and then has a hard stool, he/she may be having constipation. A gentle massage can help your baby get relief from the discomfort. -
Skin health
Massages also help your baby’s skin stay soft and smooth. When massaging your baby, use our ayurvedic baby massage oil, Baby Oil. The natural ingredients of our Baby Oil such as Saffron, Milk, and Turmeric are gentle on your baby’s skin and provide nourishment.
