Loving touches & special moments

No word can express as much as a gesture that comes from the heart. Everyone needs loving touch, but especially the smallest ones: babies.

Touch and physical contact are as essential as food. Affection lays the foundation for a full and happy life. In addition to this strong emotional side, baby massage also has significant physical benefits.

PARTIAL MASSAGE FOR NEWBORN

In the first weeks of life, a partial massage is sufficient. Repeat the handles a few times and ensure there is enough heat.

MASSAGE 1: Massage your arms, legs, head, face and back very lightly with gentle strokes - sometimes with your thumb, sometimes with the flat of your hand.

MASSAGE 2: Open the baby's hand like a fan. Gently massage your baby's palm in circular motions.

MASSAGE 3: Hold a baby foot loosely in your hand. Gently rub your thumb up and down on the sole of your foot. Then do the same with the other foot.
