Massage and gymnastics for children from 0 to 3 months

From 0 to 3 months, dunned baby

As we have already agreed earlier, the second part of the article is devoted to the complexes of exercises and massage, which Mom will be able to independently perform at home mainly with a preventive purpose or if a pediatrician or another specialist will recommend conducting such classes on their own.

Immediately I want to warn with possible errors - if the child has indications for conducting classes with the medical goal, then it is necessary to contact a specialist. It is imperative that it is necessary to have a job well perceived by the child (see Part1) and he had contact with adults, which conducts procedures, the baby must have a good mood. For a small child with neurological status, it is especially important to conduct such classes in a good arrangement of the Spirit and only a specialist should hold them.

Technical implementation of massage techniques I will not describe - Children's massage requires special skills and at your request you will be able to show a massage therapist in a clinic or a pattering sister, which should be owned by these skills. The same description of all techniques you can find in specialized literature on children's massage widely represented on the book market.

The massage of the first year of life includes basic techniques:

stroke
trituration
sensing
vibration

Since the skin of the breast child is very gentle and thin, at first apply gentle techniques of massage (stroking), and then we will gradually enter the remaining techniques (rubbing and light vibration in the form of shocking and shaking limbs), as well as kneading.

Stroke It is performed at the beginning of any massage session and are carried out in order to prepare the massaged area to other elements and methods of massage. Stroking activates blood circulation and thereby improves blood supply to fabrics and organs. Stroking calms the nervous system, causes relaxation of the muscles, helps to relieve pain. When stroking the abdomen should avoid pressure on the liver area. When the back stroke, the reception is performed along the spine, the vertex pillar itself cannot be massaged.

Trituration Promotes muscle relaxation, improving blood circulation and nutritional nutrition. In addition, rubbing affects calming on the child's nervous system. It has a positive effect not only on the skin and subcutaneous fabric, but also on muscles, ligaments and tendons.

Sensing Soothes the nervous system, activates blood and lymph formation, it has a positive effect on joints, ligaments and tendons, as well as on the muscles, and not only on superficial, but also on the located deep enough. Beneficiation and breathing system is beneficial.

Vibration It has a positive effect on the child's nervous system, improves the metabolism in the body and has a slight painkillery effect. In the massage of the first year of life, only such vibration techniques should be used as shocking and shaking, and from 3-4 months it is also easy to use with your fingers.

So that the child was healthy, except for massage, with him you need to do gymnastic exercises every day.

Already in the first months of life, he reflexively performs bleaching types of physical exercises. As the child grows and the development of the back massage and abdomen is recommended to be combined with simple exercise. For each kid, you should choose your individual exercise complex, which will meet the state of its health. To properly pick up the child exercises, you need to consult a doctor.

The basic principles of building a set of exercises that Mom should know:

The exercise complex must be drafted so that exercises for all muscle groups are included in it, among which an important place should be allocated to the secrets.
The exercise complex must be formulated on the principle of simple to complex.
Gradually, it is necessary to increase the physical exertion by repetitions of the same exercise. If the child must repeat each exercise 2-3 times in the first days of classes, then 4-5 exercises can be done with it.
On the time of the duration of classes should be consulted by the doctor. Gradually, classes time can be increased.
In the process of gymnastics, the baby should not be overworked. All exercises should bring joy to the baby.

Gymnastic exercises and massage of children from 1.5 to 3 months.

From the first day of life and up to 2 months, the child sleeps a lot. His sleep can last up to 22 hours a day. Therefore, that the body of the child develops correctly, during his wakefulness it is necessary to make him a massage and the simplest gymnastic exercises.

When the child turns 1 month, he first begins to respond to the voice of the mother. At this age, the child is very weak. He does not know how to keep the head, hands and legs are almost not infrmed, convulsively pressed to the body. Hands are usually compressed in fists. However, in 2 months, he already keeps the head smoothly, and his reaction applies not only to the voice of the mother, but also to other sounds and objects. If someone begins to talk with him, he answers a smile, moves his hands, legs, etc. These positive emotions are very helpful for the child's nervous system. So that his handles and legs move as much as possible, parents should more often contact the baby and talk to him in a tender voice. In 3 months, the baby is already independently turning on its side or even on the stomach. At the same time, all the movements of the child are reflex or unconscious.

Children from the first birthday to 4 months are exposed to hypertonus of hand and leg flexors. When this symptom appears, it is necessary to try to relax the bending muscles with a massage, the main reception of which is stroking.

All exercises associated with flexion and extension of the limbs, the child must perform with the help of adults. Perform all exercises should be gently, without effort and in the absence of the muscle resistance of the child. These exercises must certainly like the child, cause him joy and not to cause pain.

From birth, it is recommended to instill a child the first swimming skills (babies usually adore this occupation if he was not frightened by previous meetings with water).

Gymnastic exercises combined with massage should be carried out no more than 15 minutes a day. In the event that a child for any reason to oppose one or another exercise, it should be abandoned from him or choose those that will bring positive emotions to the child. During procedures, it is constantly affirmed to talk to the child; Then the exercises will bring him joy and the desire to engage in gymnastics again and again.

In case of mass generation, blood circulation is improved, and this positively affects the state of any internal organ. That is why preventive massage sessions are recommended to all children of the first year of life.

Breast kids massage replaces gymnastics. In addition, auditory and visual abilities are not yet sufficiently developed in newborns, the whole world is felt through touches. Therefore, it is the massage that develops the emotional state of the baby and the ability to perceive the world around.

Pediatricians consider massage a reliable means for the prevention of various diseases, since it depends on it the coordinated work of all organs.

We have already mentioned the beneficial effects of massage procedures on the immune system of the newborn. So, as a result of this influence, the child will be less common to "pick up" various infections and colds.

Any type of massage will not bring any benefit if the baby has elevated body temperature. It is contraindicated in various damagers or diseases of the skin (especially a pusty nature), increased fragments of bones, diseases of the circulatory system, ORVI.

In any case, the course of the massage must be appointed a doctor, "self-esteem" is unacceptable.

Fundamental rules

You can start making a massage no earlier than the crumble "knocks out" 20 days from the genus. The kids under the age of 3 months can not massage the region of the spring and under the knees, the elbow fold, armpits, the inner of the hips. Also pressing and shock movements, patting, so you will only cause excessive irritation of receptors and the increased nervous infant instance.

The temperature in the room must be from 18 to 23 degrees. The most important is the temperature regime in the room. Do not forget that the kid will be completely distributed completely and can freeze. No need to calm yourself by the fact that in the process of massage the body is heated. This axiom is applicable to an adult person. For crumbling, massaging movements are more stroking than power, and therefore the warming effect is almost zero. The fact that the baby is frozen, you can tell you the beginning of the ICTO and the temperature of the nose of crumbs. We read articles about the optimal temperature indicators in the room for a newborn baby, and it is useful to familiarize yourself with the article on the order procedure, namely on air baths for the child.
To conduct a massage, you should prepare a changing table or any smooth surface. Covered with a thin blanket, oilcloth or diaper. The surface should be wide enough so that you can unlamine the baby freely.
Place for massage is preferably equipped with everything necessary. Provide what can be useful, and ensure that these funds are found in accessible proximity. You should not be distracted and leave the crumb, even Mobile Phone Put there. It is also desirable to raise the absorbent reusable diaper, because the baby cannot control the process of urination.
Special attention should be paid to your hands. Long nails are undesirable not only with massage, they are superfluous and with daily child care. The beauty of the hands and a good manicure is possible and with short nails, so they are squeezed them at the time while Kroch is in gentle age. It is also recommended to remove all decorations from hand. An extra opportunity of injury to you is completely nothing.
Say to choose the right time for the procedure. You can approximately calculate when the child asks to eat and sleep. Massage is better to spend one and a half or two hours after feeding. Even with a slight discomfort from the side of the baby, the process will not give positive results.
During the massage, do not silent, talk to the child. Any children's songs and speakers will be useful. Such simultaneous classes not only adjust the baby to the positive, but also develop his auditory and speaking abilities.
Gradual complication of exercises and an increase in the time of massage procedures.
Direction of massage movements: strictly bottom up, from the periphery to the center.
Movements should be careful and do not deliver discomfort.
Duration of one session 15-20 minutes.

One of the most important elements of the care, ensuring the harmonious development of the child performs massage. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of this procedure that deserves close attention from the very first day of the life of the kid.

How old can you make a newborn massage?

Many future parents, preparing for their main life role, look for a long list of questions regarding the growth, development and adaptation of a newborn baby.

Not the last place in this list takes information about how much the newborn massage can be done. Pediatricians allow the beginning of such manipulations already in the first month of the life of the baby. The only restriction is the period of the healing of the wound on the baby's soup, the impact on which problems with his health in the future can cause.

Mass holding around the navel needs to be carried out with high caution, exciting the skin near the umbilical ring and thereby stimulating the muscular tone of the abdomen. Such a procedure will further eliminate the baby from the danger in the form of an umbilical hernia.

What massage to make a child in 1 month?

Massage for a child 1 month is necessary to ensure the normal operation of internal organs, muscle relaxation and improvement of metabolism. Therefore, when the first massage newborn is done, then often follow a special step-by-step technique, including work with all parts of the baby's body, starting from the face and ending with the feet. Such consistent stimulation should be smooth and soft.

Unacceptable sharp and strong pressure - especially when massaging the head and face of the baby, - since its bones are still in the formation stage.

As for the technique of conducting, the massage per month newborn is, first of all, light strokes, gradually turning into weak pressure. If the procedure is carried out correctly, the first results will appear immediately in the form of porous children's skin and noticeable kid's revival.

Of course, it all depends on the target to which data is directed by manipulative actions. If the first massage for newborns is relaxing, then the result will be directly opposite to encouraging and toning effect. And the ultimate result will be a strong and healthy sleep of a child.

Massage for newborns 1 month

Laying on the stomach. The first, the easiest, but from a no less important technique, which includes a massage for a newborn 1 month, is the laid out of the baby on the tummy. This manipulation forms the correct form of the spine. At the same time, the baby automatically tries to raise and hold the head, thus developing the neck muscles and exercising them. Adult at this moment can carry out a massage for children's backs and priests. It is performed by the stroking movements of the palm moving in a circle.

When working with the buttocks, the hand moves towards the spine, massaging the back, slides from the vertebral barrel to the kid's sides.

Frequent laid out of the baby is undoubtedly important for its further development. Therefore, this technique should be practiced not only during the massage, but at any convenient case during the stay of the infants in the active condition.

Spine extension. A second no less important technique that includes a massage for newborns 1 month is the extension of the spine. It is based on a galant reflex and includes a reflex bend of a children's back in response to an external stimulation that occurs during massage.

To achieve such actions, it is necessary, fixing the child in the side position, spend along its spinal column, pre-retreating from the middle of the body to the side of one centimeter. Such a movement causes the kid's response in the form of bending the back of the arc.

The main point - the execution of this exercise should not cause discomfort and negative emotions in the child.

Massage tummy. Massage for newborns 1-3 months must necessarily include the stimulation of a baby tummy. During this period, the most common illness in the life of the baby becomes problems:

with gastrointestinal tract;
including colic;
bloating;
constipation.

All these problems are associated with the formation of the digestive system and the adaptation of the body to new sources of nutrients.

The following procedure comes to the rescue: the child is placed on the back on a flat surface, and its legs, slightly pressing to the tummy, bend and extension several times.

Then the children's tummy is stimulated by smooth strokes of the hands moving in a circle, repeating the movement of the clock arrow.

It is advisable to finish the exercise, it is advisable to stimulate the entire intestine, starting from the hypathrod, moving towards the navel and rising again to the stomach.

Massage with hypertonus in newborns

The most common anomaly of the development of a newborn baby is the muscle hypertonus. Its main signs are the restless behavior of the child, the habit of throwing the head and bent when they are crying, the limbs reduced together.

The most effective way to relax muscles is a massage with hypertonus. In order to get a quick visible effect of stimulation of this type, you must carefully comply with the technique of its holding.

How to make a massage newborn with a tone? Before you start directly the massage itself for newborns from the tone of the muscles, it is necessary to carry out a certain preparatory work.

The first stage is the creation of a comfortable atmosphere. The room must be pre-conducted, and the air temperature in it is adjusted to the optimal value - from 21 to 24 degrees. In the absence of a changing table, you can use a regular table, covered with a clean baby diaper.

The second stage is the choice of suitable time. It all depends on the individual characteristics of the baby, but the universal rules prohibit the massage immediately after feeding and waking up. Specialists advise to take this procedure a few minutes before night bed.

The third stage is the study of the technique, according to which the massage of the newborn is carried out with hypertonus. General practice provides for the following recommendations: movements light and directed along the blood vessels. For legs, it is the path from the stop in the direction of the groin area, and for the hands - from the palms to the shoulder belt.

You should start with the upper extremities, walking up with smooth massaging movements up each kid handle separately, after which you can safely massage the children's fingers.

Then there is a relaxing massage of the legs, covering the foot, shin and hips. Touch soft, tender and careful. The kid should not feel pain and discomfort. Hips on the reverse side, the groin area and knees are not stimulated.

Massage extension is continuing and flexing the legs in the knees and the hip joint.

The above step-by-step instruction is a partially relaxing massage with an increased tone in newborns. But there are also generally relaxing approaches affecting the entire organism. To implement them, you should put a child on a solid smooth surface, put your arms for the back and, holding the head, rock the baby in different directions. Such a sequence of actions must be repeated 10-15 times.

When is it better to make a massage newborn? In order to find out what time the massage of the newborn is, first of all, it is necessary to determine its purpose. If it is relaxing and is carried out in order to remove the voltage, the most optimal option will be time after bathing and before placing the baby. In this case, the procedure will not only calm down, but also provide a strong healthy sleep.

For the total toning effect, the first half of the day is suitable - with eight in the morning to three o'clock in the afternoon. It should be remembered that the feeding of the child is in no way combined with the external stimulation of its body, which occurs during massage. The child takes time to relax and calmly digest food. Therefore, after feeding, it is advisable to make a clock break and then start exercises with a calm rested chad.

How many times a day to make a massage newborn?

How many times do the massage of the newborn? As a rule, at first, experts insist that such events should not be held more than once a day. Massage of children in 1.5 months can be increased to two approaches per day. Also, the number of impacts may vary depending on individual needs, if there are personal recommendations of the specialist.

Another important point: Many dads and moms, convinced that the amount is capable of replacing the quality, make a massage newborns two or more times a day. This is a mistake, since only proper compliance with technique and attentive caring attitude can lead to rapid success.

Thus, if the full harmonious development of the baby is a priority for his parents, then it is necessary to make a massage newborn. It is at this stage that the foundations of a child's well-being are laid, which depends on the timely and proper care for it.

It took quite a bit of time since you first saw your child after his appearance. The main activity is now - food and sleep, only a small gap Baby wakes. The child does not know how to own his body, all movements are chaotic and random, the newborn also has no skill to keep the head in a vertical position. Hands and legs are tightly pressed against the body, while they are bent in the joints, and the palms are in the closed position (compressed in the cam). Such a pose is the result of muscle hypertonus, characteristic of all newborn crumbs.

How soon the kid will learn to control his movements? It will depend on it, and from you. E. Komarovsky claims that the daily massage for newborns will help remove the hypertonus, and elementary gymnastic exercises will strengthen muscles and joints.

The newborn baby muscles are intense, it cannot fully relax. Massage removes hypertonus and stimulates the development of motor skills when you can start a massage?

Often parents ask pediatricians a question - from what age can you start massage a newborn? Professional massage in the clinic is carried out no earlier than in 2-3 months, of course, in the absence of contraindications. Massage a newborn independently at home can already from age 3 weeks or when heals the navel.

The main task of massage is the relaxation of clamped hands and legs. It is possible to straighten the palms and the feet using congenital reflexes. Try to spend your hand along the spine, and you will see how the kid is strifted by the arc. Raising the crumb and giving the opportunity to touch the feet of the support, you will see - the child will begin to make "chambers". Putting a child on the stomach and allowing the foot with the legs, you will notice how it repels and makes trying to crawl. Such congenital reflexes are preserved only to 3-4 months and you can use them as exercises for a newborn massage.

It is difficult to definitely say when it is better to carry out a newborn baby massage. Any physical activity, including massage, is recommended to be carried out in the first half of the day. The load caused by the exercises often causes the desire to sleep, but there are those who begin to show activity.

The outcome of physical exercises is difficult to predict, so it is not recommended to carry out it immediately before bedtime, especially if you notice that the baby sleeps badly at night. Conducting a massage Newborn Komarovsky advises to transfer to the time before the evening bathing.

Preparation for massage

While crumbling from 0 to 3 months, the following areas should be eliminated from the massage: under the knees, in the elbow, spring, the inner part of the hips and armpits. Relaxing massage The baby should be made by smooth movements and is categorically contraindicated with a strongly pressing or hit by the body of a monthly baby - such sharp movements can cause excessive irritation of receptors and increase the nervous excitement of the child.

The main rules do not need to smear with cream or butter in the process of massage, but if the skin's skin is dry, it makes sense to moisten it with baby oil

Store the following rules for the organization of massage:

Komarovsky recommends maintaining a temperature in the room, equal to 18-22 degrees.
For the massage procedure, you will need a changing table or any other smooth solid surface. Top put a thick diaper, a thin blanket and a loaf. Choosing the surface, take into account its width - you should be comfortable to turn the baby.
Take care in advance about the exercise venue. Everything that can come in handy during the massage must be nearby, so that you will not be left from the baby. Mobile phone, too, put on next. Use a disposable diaper to protect the table from involuntary urins.

Pay special attention to congenital reflexes and how they stimulate the movements and the work of the extensive muscles.

The doctor must determine the condition of the muscles of the kid and its general development. With serious neurological, orthopedic violations Massage should only do a professional.

Therapeutic or correctional massage is prescribed if the baby has any violations in psychomotor, neurological development. Often deviations from the norm are in premature, male children, with congenital pathologies. Read more about what a child should be able to read from 1 month to a year in a number of our articles. If the crumbs are all in order and it develops according to age standards (although the concept of the norm may also be conditional), it is possible to carry out a wellness, a common massage independently.

About the benefits of the procedure

Why is it useful to make a massage?

Tactile contact. Careful touch, warm hands are the "food", in which a breast child needs.
Relaxing the nervous system. In infancy at a light massage with strokes, children often fall asleep, calm down, cease to cry.
Normalization of muscle tone. With the help of massage, you can relax too tense muscles and, on the contrary, lead to the tone too relaxed. It is important that the muscle condition is determined by the children's specialist - a neurologist, orthopedist, a massage therapist.
Normalization of the digestive organs. In the first months of life, many kids suffer from digestion disorders. Spasms, bloating, colic helps to eliminate abdominal massage.

A common massage for infants may learn to make every mom. To do this, it is best to watch video materials and listen to the recommendations of professional children's masseurs. We emphasize once again: therapeutic massage is carried out only by specialists, because it requires impeccable knowledge of anatomy, strict testimony and contraindications, experience with small patients.

Conditions for conducting

Rate the condition of the baby. Breasts should be healthy, in a good spirit. The older baby, the greater the emotional inclusion in the process. A child can be distracted on those present, so it is better to carry out a procedure alone with a crumb. If during the massage the child starts crying and worrying, you need to interrupt the procedure. Massage for kids is not recommended immediately after eating, as well as when the child is hungry. The best time is one hour after feeding, in front of the evening bathing, but not on the eve of night sleep.
Take into account increased sensitivity of infants. The skin of the infants gentle and supersensitive, so all massage movements are carried out carefully and in gentle mode. There are children with hypersensitive skin, which react poorly to massage and cry all the time. Such kids can only stroke. If there is no testimony to the massage, do not recommend it. Also contraindication to massage can be atopic, diaper dermatitis, various rashes on the skin. At least rubbing and kneading cannot be carried out.
Rate your own emotional state. Adult, who makes a child massage, should be in a balanced, calm condition. This may be not only mom, but also dad. Child needs tactile contact with both parents. It is also important during the procedure affectionately to talk with the baby.
Massage hand hands. It is necessary to remove the decorations from the fingers and wrists, cut the nails. Hands should be warm and soft, you can lubricate them with baby cream or oil before the procedure. Massage begins with a soft touch, while all the time contact with baby body is supported. Any sharp movement can scare crumb.
Session duration. Depends on the age and condition of the crumbs. Massage to the child in the first 2 months recommended to do about 3 minutes. Then the session time gradually increases. After half a year, massage can be done about 10 minutes.
Comfortable air temperature. For the massage of the baby undress (definitely remove the diaper). Breast-age children are quickly transferred and overheated, since they do not have the thermoregulation system. You need to check the air temperature in the room, and also make sure there are no drafts.
Location. The surface on which the baby lies, should be cozy, smooth and sufficiently solid. A changing table is well suitable for this procedure.

Massage techniques

Stroking. The easiest massage movements. Best suitable newborn and infants. Usually, any healing and wellness massage in the baby begins and ends with these movements. Feet and hands stroke the clamping movements.
Trituration. Follows after stroking. Movements are denser, well relax muscles, improve blood circulation, have a beneficial effect on the development of bundles and tendons. There are several types of rubbing: sawing movies by the edge of the palms; Round-shaped for legs and hands, pillows of fingers, in parallel and spirals. The trituration limbs are performed in the distance from the bottom: from wrist to shoulder, from foot to the thigh.
Melting. Works on deeper tissues, improves lymphotok. Performed with nipper movements of fingers. With the help of kneading, buttocks, legs, longitudinal back muscles are also worked out. It must be remembered that it is impossible to affect the spine. Breasts use the most delicate view of the kneading - felting, when the muscles are sorted by two hands - compress and move. Folding use for kneading legs and hands.
Vibration. Kids can make shaking that are used for massage limbs. Also, during a breast massage, a variety of vibration is used - shoe. For this, the baby's chest is wrapped with palms so that four fingers are located below, and the big fingers were on top. In this position, light shakes are performed. It should be remembered that large vibrations soothe the nervous system, and small, on the contrary, excite. Also vibrations contribute to improving metabolism.

It is possible to be extremely careful when performing a massage around the joints (ankle, hip, rascal). If the baby pushes, resists during the massage, you need to stop the procedure for a while. It is impossible to suppress the movement of the child, create a strong resistance, as it can lead to displacement, a joint injury or tendon. Best of all, if the main techniques show a professional massage therapist and indicate on those zones that require the most gentle massage.

Massage for months

Some experts believe that massage can only be done after 2 months. Others adhere to the opinions that gentle strokes are simply needed by croching from the first days of life.

Features of the procedure after half a year

Children of this age strive to actively learn the world, try to rise, sit down, crawl, get up, master the motorcy as far as development. Passively lie and relax during massage it is difficult for them. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct gymnastics with massage for babies to take an active part in the process. You can also use rhythmic music, fun. Emotional contact, verbal communication with the kid during massage and gymnastics during this period are especially important. After half a year, all these types of stroking, rubbing, kneading and vibrations can be applied. About gymnastics for infants Read more read in another article.

Fundamental rules

The temperature in the room must be from 18 to 23 degrees. The most important is the temperature regime in the room. Do not forget that the kid will be completely distributed completely and can freeze. No need to calm yourself by the fact that in the process of massage the body is heated. This axiom is applicable to an adult person. For crumbling, massaging movements are more stroking than power, and therefore the warming effect is almost zero. The fact that the baby is frozen, you can tell you the beginning of the ICTO and the temperature of the nose of crumbs. We read articles about, and useful to familiarize yourself with the article on the order procedure, namely.
To conduct a massage, you should prepare a changing table or any smooth surface. Covered with a thin blanket, oilcloth or diaper. The surface should be wide enough so that you can unlamine the baby freely.
Place for massage is preferably equipped with everything necessary. Provide what can be useful, and ensure that these funds are found in accessible proximity. You should not be distracted and leave the crumb, even Mobile Phone Put there. It is also desirable to raise the absorbent reusable diaper, because the baby cannot control the process of urination.
Special attention should be paid to your hands. Long nails are undesirable not only with massage, they are superfluous and.

The baby's chest is beginning to massage towards the sternum to the shoulders, then - from the sternum to the sides. Breasts will get around the face.

Child massage from the first days

Massage value for infants

Everyone knows that after the birth of the bodies and systems of the kid still need growth and development. This is especially true of the brain and the central nervous system. It is proved that the conducting pathways of the skin analyzer ripen earlier and the auditory, and by the time the appearance of the light is fully developed.

Since from the first week after birth, the child is most susceptible to exposure through the skin, we can stimulate the development of all organs and kid systems, and largely the central nervous system.

The newborn baby, as a rule, is observed physiological hypertonus - the handles and legs bent, the cams are compressed, the movements are messy, chaotic. Our task is to help the crumb to balance the tone of the muscles, quickly begin to make meaningful movements, on time to go through all the stages of development.

First of all, you need to choose a place for child massage. It should be a solid, wide enough surface. The perfect option is a changing table. Ship it with a bike blanket, put the oilcloth on top and any clean or disposable diaper. The room should be well ventilated. The optimal temperature in the room is 18-22c.

Your hands should be clean, warm, with briefly marked nails. Clock, rings and other decorations need to be removed. The time of classes (morning, day or evening) is selected individually for each child. The basic condition - the baby should sleep, because if he wants to sleep, harm harm is successful.

It is not forbidden to feed the baby if he did not fall asleep. Wait 10-15 minutes. Let the kid break up the air, a little rest after meals, and can safely begin to massage. Nothing terrible if the child is a little after that he swallows - after massage you feed it yet.

For child massage It is recommended to use baby oil. Lubricate them your hands, just not very plentiful. During the class, turn on the music, or please yourself, or just talk to the child during the massage. Learn various merry rhymes, comment on their actions. The baby will follow the movement of your lips and remember everything, and when it starts to go, utter the first sounds, it will be very useful for him.

Prerequisite for good lesson - your great mood! After all, the child persistently reacts to the inner state of the mother. You must be sure that massage for an infant It is very useful - then the crouch will be perceived positively. So that the child gets pleasure from massage, you must teach it to such activities. Massage for an infant - This is very big work. Therefore, it is necessary to study every day, gradually increasing the duration and intensity of classes.

The child must be naked - do not be afraid of cold handles, legs, nose. This is not an indication that the kid frozen. Check the heads: if it is warm, then everything is in order. And the handles and legs are very soon adapting and will be warm for the whole time until the child is spread. The very first classes should be no more than 5-10 minutes. By 1.5-2 months, the duration of occupations increases to 30 minutes.
