Baby touching is not a very precise technique, and every new father and mother can personally touch their children at home after a period of practice. Moreover, touching should be started as soon as possible, and can continue until the child grows up. Even for older children, touching can still play a role in relieving tension. New parents can practice according to the following touch details.
1. Gently massage the baby's head, and use your thumb to draw a smile on the baby's upper lip and lower lip, so that the baby can fully feel happy.
2. Put your hands on the costal edges of both sides of the baby, slide your right hand upward to the baby's right shoulder, and then gradually return to the original position; The left hand works in the same way.
3. Massage the baby's navel clockwise, but pay attention not to massage the area before the umbilical scab falls off.
4. Place your hands flat on the baby's back, massage from the neck down, then gently massage the muscles on both sides of the spine with your fingertips, and move from the neck to the bottom again.
5. Drop the baby's hands, hold his arm with one hand, gently squeeze it from the wrist of his upper arm, and then massage his fingers with his fingers; Massage the other hand in the same way.
6. Massage the baby's thighs, knees and calves, gently squeeze from the thighs to the ankles, and then massage the ankles and feet; On the premise of ensuring no ankle injury, massage from heel to toe with your thumb.
7. Each time starts from 5 minutes, and then gradually extends to 15-20 minutes, 1-2 times a day. Touch can be applied with appropriate force, because too gentle pacification will make the baby itch, but it is easy to cause the baby's aversion.
