THE ENVIRONMENT Your baby will feel more comfortable in a room which is quiet, draught-free and warm. Keep the room at a constant tempera ture of 80F or 2GC, as babies lose body heat much faster than adults. Choose an area to massage your baby where there is plenty of room for movement, and avoid direct sunlight and heat. Make sure there are no objects or hot drinks nearby which may fall on to your baby and that all dangerous appliances are switched off. The safest place to massage your baby is on the floor. Never leave your baby unattended and keep any pets out of the room.

THE MASSAGE SESSION Firstly remove any rings, watches or bracelets to avoid scratching your baby, ensure that your nails have no sharp rough edges and wash your hands with a mild or gen tle soap so that they are warm and clean. Never massage your . k baby if you have any skin infection or infection around the nails. Keep looking at your baby and talking to him or her softly throughout the massage, and leave one hand in contact at all times to make them feel secure. Ideally your baby should be naked for the mas sage. However, some babies can feel insecure when they are undressed so you can leave their vest on. Remove the baby's nappy, but place a clean one underneath in case of accidents. The best time to massage your baby is at least 90 minutes after feeding, when your baby will have digested his or her food, and won't be feeling hungry. If your baby begins to cry during the massage, stop, give him a cuddle and only if your baby settles should you try to
continue with the massage s e s s i o n .
