Baby Foot and Leg Massage
Baby Foot Massage stages * The baby is placed on his back, either on the bed or on the couch. * One of the baby's feet is lifted into the air by grasping the back of the ankle. * Start stroking with circular movements, starting from the heel and moving up to the toes. Stroking should be done with the thumb. * Here, it might be good to get between the toes. * The same procedure is applied to the other foot. * Massage is continued until it is noticed that the baby calms down. Baby Leg Massage stages * Start by lifting the leg to be massaged. * Here, the palms of both hands are used. The baby's leg is placed between both hands and the leg is stroked by moving the palms in opposite directions. This movement is continued from above the ankle to the hip. * The same procedure is applied to the other leg. * Massage is continued until the baby calms down.
