I have baby daughter(4 month now,). She is crying a lot , maybe she is a bit windy or she have colic. I talked with my home visitor Marina about that and she arranged baby massages for my daughter Amanda. Baby massages were conducted by a very nice and kind woman Debbie . She always reminded me about her visits via sms. She always arrived exactly at the agreed time, which allowed me to plan waking and feeding times for the baby.
I expected only physical activities from baby massages - massage of the baby and nothing more. But Debbie did something more. She taught me how to massage a baby. She talked about the reasons for a child's crying, about the child's attachment to his mother, and every time she came with clear printed materials that she left for me. With these materials, it was very easy for me to massage my child on my own.π
Debbie talked about child sleep, good bedtime habits, playing with age-appropriate toys, and how important it is for a child to learn to soothe themselves and sleep in their own crib. And she teaches me 2 song based games, which I will play with my baby. π€π
I looked forward to her visits every time. After talking to her, my mood and confidence definitely improved.π
And of course my baby is more settled and happier too. πΆπ€±
Thank you for making me and my baby feeling better in this very hard first months of me being a mother to my very loud baby π₯ πΌ
