Baby Rub Down
(HealthDayNews) -- A wonderful way to bond with your baby is by gently massaging his or her body, says St. Louis Children's Hospital.
Other benefits of infant massage include:
Relief from discomfort associated with teething, congestion, gas, colic and emotional distress.
Improved muscle tone.
Improved digestion.
Stress release.
Here's how and when to massage:
Hold your baby in your lap and gently rub his or her back, arms and legs.
Avoid massaging when your baby is fussy or hungry.
An evening massage will help prepare your infant for a good night's sleep.
