This is how you massage your baby’s arms properly
After you have massaged your baby’s face and upper body, the arms are next in line for the baby massage. Two different handles are used here. In our photo gallery you will find detailed instructions.
Note: On the arms, all the movements described are repeated about five to ten times. With the number of repetitions, pay attention to whether your baby likes the touches or not.
Step 1
Oil your baby’s arms. In this way, your hands glide very easily over his skin during the massage and you prevent small skin folds from being pinched.
step 2
Gently turn your baby to one side. So you can easily reach and hold the arm that you want to massage first.
step 3
Hold your baby’s wrist with one hand and gently stretch his arm up. With the other hand, grasp your child’s upper arm and form a ring with your fingers. Then slowly draw your hand towards the child’s wrist and “milk” the arm in this way.
step 4
Next you use the screw handle. To do this, enclose your baby’s upper arm with both hands. Now massage the arm gently by turning your hands a little bit in opposite directions and back again. Do not exert any pressure and let your hands slowly move towards your wrists. Turn your child to the other side and do the massage on the other arm as well.
