Ten movements of Baby Massage
1 From the neck to the temples: with the fingertips, giving a massage on your scalp, making small circles. Start with the temples and down to the neck, where they found two hands.
2 On the front: imagine that the baby’s face is like an open book. Place the thumbs of both hands face each other on the center of the book and smooth your pages using the pads, reducing the pressure to reach the temples, lifting little by little fingers.
3 towards the gum of the mouth: this movement is especially nice for babies whose gums are inflamed because it will leave your teeth. Place your index finger and the heart rate or both at the site of their first lower incisors and gently move their lips, with small movements of rotation. Repeat on the upper gum.
4 From the beginning of the clavicles to shoulder: place the fingertips of both hands in the hollow of the neck of the baby, which join the bones of their clavicles. Smooth your skin up towards the shoulders. Go down to the fingers on your chest and finish the massage reducing pressure with a small circular motion on the tip of the sternum.
5 Shoulders to the hand … and back massage her arms with both hands (one after another), from the shoulder, stopping at the wrist, the hand open up and re-upload. This movement can be repeated three times, alternating right arm and left arm.
6 From the hip to the foot massage her thighs, like the arms, down to the ankle and end in the foot. One leg after another. This movement can also be repeated three times.
7 The soles of his feet: taking a baby’s foot between both hands and drawing, with the tips of the thumbs, small circles, moving from the heel to the toes and pushing gently to avoid tickling. Do with the other foot.
8 shoulder blades toward the kidneys: alternating movements of hands, as the blades of a windmill (slide the palm of a hand in the back, falling on the diagonal, while leaving the other palm up). Smooth on your back and shoulder blades to descend to their kidneys. This movement can be extended to the feet, moving his hands on his thighs and calves.
9 Along the spine: place the palms on top of patting his back and go with undulating movements, from the center outwards, gently moving their hands towards the kidneys. This movement can be repeated three times and extended to the buttocks. The important thing is not putting pressure on his spine.
10 From the neck to heel: to finish the massage, combed with the fingertips of both hands across the back of his body, as levels.
