Being the massage lover that I am, I decided to pass a little dose of relaxation onto my children and when I was pregnant with Kai, I read up on the topic. I tried it as a newborn, but it didnt seem to affect him one way or another. We then had a professional show us some techniques (in a very relaxing setting on the beach by the way) and he just giggled. I'm not sure why I ever thought it would work with him- something allowing him to relax? Are you kidding me? That would just slow him down. So, we tossed it out the window with our "on the go" boy.
Then came Aria....I started massaging her after birth and she would just lay so still enjoying every minute of it. I've done it off and on and lately she has been going through a restless period before naps. So, I decided to start giving her a massage to calm her down. Sure enough, she eewed and ahhed the whole time and within 30 seconds is out cold. Afterall, what girl doesn't like a good massage every once in awhile!!??
Speaking of it, I'm scheduling one for myself this Thursday(-:
Ps. The pic above is 15 seconds after massaging her thigh(-:
