Infant and Toddler Massage

I am learning infant massage. David is absolutely receptive to it. He loves it. One rule is to always ask permission to massage. When I ask permission, the answer has always been, "Massage." Which I take as a "yes." One day he brought the oil to me indicating he would like a massage. So far, I have learned how to massage the feet, legs, stomach, and chest. It has been a spectacular way for me to bond with him. I did not realize how much we would enjoy it. The main reason behind learning, though, is to help ease his discomfort during the BMT. Also, massage is an excellent way to keep the fluids flowing throughout the body. As the toxins build up in the muscles and tissues, massage will help release them. It's a win for him!
