It's great to massage the whole of your child's body using a range of techniques. Here are some strokes for the legs and feet -- You can repeat each stroke a few times, always responding to what your child seems to enjoy: - Gently hold one of your baby's legs between your palms. - Then, with one hand, hold your baby's ankle securely. Mould your other hand around the top of your child's thigh, then slide it down the leg towards the ankle. Aim for a 'milking' action – as if you were milking a cow! - Then swap hands and repeat. Always keep your child's ankle supported and use slow, flowing strokes. - Next, cradle your child's foot in your hands and use your thumbs to stroke over the sole of the foot from heel to toes, one thumb after another. This can also be done on the top of the foot. Gently squeeze and rub each toe between your thumb and finger. - Then, holding your child's foot in your hands, press the pads of your thumbs all over the sole of the foot, like a cat padding a cushion. - Finish by repeating the 'milking' stroke in the opposite direction, i.e. from ankle to thigh. Here are some tips to help you massage your baby safely: - Avoid using oils that are scented, petroleum-based or contain nuts, as some oil might get into your baby’s mouth. - When massaging your child's arms or legs, always support the ankle or wrist with one hand. - When massaging your child's tummy with a circular motion, go clockwise rather than anti-clockwise. - Stop massaging, if your child becomes upset or falls asleep.
