Reflexology for my baby & child
I remember the first time my son laughed.
He was sitting in his bouncy chair and I was playing peek-A-boo.
I also remember, very clearly, the times when my son cried out in pain and I felt so helpless.
​
Why is he crying and how can I help him??
​
Babies are not able to tell us why they are in pain. They will cry for everything – a dirty diaper, cold, hot, hungry, gas, constipation, stomach pains, reflux, colic, over-stimulated, teething, stuffy nose, cough, tired, and the list can go on and on. Sometimes, it can be hard to know why they are crying. This can be frustrating, overwhelming, and disheartening. Whether you are a mother, father, caretaker, night nurse, grandparent, or nanny you should never feel incapable or discouraged when it comes to a baby or child.
Reflexology for babies is an amazing tool. We know social interaction and touch is extremely important to humans. A few minutes after a baby is born s/he is cut apart from the only source s/he knows. It is very important for newborns (and even adults) to feel touch, security, and love.
Even if you’re not a reflexologist, just holding your little one’s feet will make your baby feel secure. Massaging certain parts of the foot will activate the systems of the body. And most importantly, it will enhance your bond with your baby even more.
