Newborn abdominal massage preparation

Care for newborns must be comprehensive. Many mothers do not know what to do when taking care of their newborns, so they need to consult. Moreover, they need to understand such issues before giving birth so that they can know how to do it after the baby is born. Abdominal massage for newborns is very common. What are the preparations for abdominal massage for newborns? The following is a detailed introduction.

Newborn abdominal massage preparations:

1. The room temperature should be appropriate: The room temperature should be between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius. If it is too cold, the baby will not only catch a cold easily, but also become nervous.

2. The massage height should be moderate: you can massage on the table or on the floor. Pay attention to adjusting the height properly to avoid the mother suffering from back pain after massaging the baby.

3. Put a towel on the table: When massaging the baby, first put a soft towel on the table or bed, and then let the baby lie down for massage. Mothers are especially reminded to place a waterproof pad under the towel to prevent the baby from suddenly urinating or defecating during the massage.

4. Pay attention to the baby's emotions: Mommy must pay attention to the baby's expression and emotions during the massage. If the baby is very comfortable, there is no limit on the massage time, but if the baby looks uncomfortable, stop the massage immediately. The best time to massage your baby is when his eyes look bright and lively and he smiles when you tease him. It is recommended that mothers play with their babies while massaging them, and play some soft music to stabilize the baby's emotions. The mothers should also try to be quiet during the massage so as not to distract the baby's attention.

5. Avoid direct light: The light during massage should not be too bright, and try not to let it shine directly into the eyes. It is best to use reflected light, which will make the baby feel safe and feel comfortable and happy during the massage.

After understanding the prior preparations for newborn abdominal massage, when performing newborn abdominal massage, the force should not be too strong. During the massage, you should also pay attention to the baby's physical condition. If the baby feels uncomfortable, do not massage him. This is also something to pay attention to.
