What is the effect of baby head massage technique?

Baby head massage can help the development of the brain. Massage is not only a physical contact, but also a heart-to-heart communication between parents and babies. It conveys love and care. No matter what kind of touch it is and the baby's reaction to the touch, it is a kind of spiritual language shared by parents and children. So, what are the techniques of baby head massage? Let's take a detailed look at it below.

The massage techniques for babies' heads are quite different from those for adults. First of all, the baby's massage must be gentle to avoid damaging its delicate blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, so the baby's massage should be accurately called "caressing". Secondly, the direction of a baby's massage is also very different from that of an adult.

3. Head massage techniques

1. Gently hold your baby's face in your hands and talk to him in a calm and gentle voice. Look your baby in the eye as you speak and use your hands to stroke your baby's face from both sides down. This will create a sense of closeness between you and your baby.

2. Slide your hands to both sides of the baby's face and to the back of the head. While supporting your head with your wrists, use the fingertips of both hands to gently make small circles to massage your head, including the fontanelle.

3. Use your thumb to stroke your baby's ears. Use your thumb and index finger to gently press your ear, from the top to the earlobe.

4. Use the remaining four fingers to massage from the neck to the shoulders. Start with the little finger and massage with the tips of the four fingers in turn.

5. Stroke your hands down to the baby's shoulders. Take a break.

After reading the expert's detailed description of baby head massage techniques above, I believe everyone should now know how to massage the baby's head. I hope the above introduction can be helpful to many parents. At the same time, I also hope that parents will pay attention to the fact that during the entire process of baby head massage, when holding the child's head with both hands, pay attention to the safety of the child's spine and neck. If the child is too young, the head must be fully supported.
