This is how you massage your baby’s upper body correctly
As a second body area, you massage the upper body with warm massage oil during the baby massage. You can find detailed instructions for the individual handles in our photo gallery.
Perform all massage grips and movements about five to ten times. Trust your feelings and see if your baby likes the touch. Adjust the number of repetitions to your baby’s reaction.
Caution: Only use this massage when your baby’s navel has healed completely!
Step 1
After checking the temperature, pour a little baby oil in a gentle stream onto the center of your baby’s chest.
step 2
Place both hands flat on your baby’s chest. Then, using both hands at the same time, swipe outward with gentle pressure, as if you were smoothing the pages of an open book.
step 3
Stretch your baby’s legs with one hand and position yourself so that his feet are touching your stomach.
Now place one palm across the baby’s chest and stroke down over the stomach.
