always make sure you tart at a time when you and baby are both clam and happy. i like to use change time. or after bath time.

start by putting a moisturiser, oil or baby poweder on baby and your hands. i like to start on the back and

the n i slowly massage his legs and feet, using long running strokes. you do not have t literally 'massage' baby, just rub your hands gently. make sure you go to the tips of his toes. then i do arms hands and fingers.

i try to keep i contact with my baby so i can see his responses and know if he is uncomfortable. if you baby ever shows signs of discomfort stop immediately. for newborns, try to restrict massage times to  around 5 minutes.

always use gently movements, long strokes and circular rubbing mvoements. and remember to aplly more oil/gel/poweder a needed. work your way over bubby's body, and concentrate on chest and tummy.

i always finsih off with a tickle :)

singing while you massage can help keep baby calm and relaxed. and adds to the overall atmosphere.

never massage your baby if he/she has inflamed skin, or a rash. never massage baby if he or she appears to have a fever. always consult your GP if you are unsure.

This is just one way of massaging baby, not the only.  other ways include running your fingers up and down bubs back while telling a story. things like 'this little piggy' are also considered short forms of massage.
