I put lotion on her after her baths and she seems to like it. I rub her tummy a lot too, she just sits there and looks at me. It's the cutest thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-massage-your-lo#post-46123 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 12:25:46 +0000 Mrs. Marbles 46123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gently massaged LM's tummy when she was a newborn to help her to get gas out. It didn't seem effective for gas but she seemed to enjoy it! </p> <p>When I was a kid, my uncle would give me a wooden backscratcher and have us scratch his back with it. It was entertaining for a few minutes, but then you realize it's work! Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-massage-your-lo#post-46118 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 12:17:04 +0000 LivsMama 46118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, its part of our bedtime routine. Liv LOOOVES her massages. Ive been doing them since she was born. Now I have to skip her toes though, since she constatnly has them in her mouth lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-massage-your-lo#post-46100 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 11:57:24 +0000 heffalump 46100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't, I'm always too scared ill do something wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-massage-your-lo#post-46022 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 10:49:04 +0000 mrbee 46022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Good idea! Charlie's hands are too small to give a satisfying back rub. I can't wait for him to grow up so that his hands get bigger! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-massage-your-lo#post-46015 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 10:43:40 +0000 chopsuey 46015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAHA. I used to step on my parents' backs. I also massaged their legs. :P My LOs shall do the same for us.<br /> I gently "massage" my LO, but nothing like those baby massage videos I've seen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-massage-your-lo#post-46007 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 10:30:37 +0000 mrbee 46007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am scared to massage Olive, since she's a newborn... so I just kind of touch her skin gently.</p> <p>Charlie loves a good foot massage though... I give him a quick one when I'm getting him dressed at night. I have also been teaching him how to massage my back... is that child labor, or good parenting? I vote for good parenting! :-)</p> <p>Do you massage your LO? </p>
