Babies love massage!
Incorporating infant massage into your daily routine is one of the most splendid care you can provide to your little one. It is good for the baby and wonderful for you too! The babies benefit from the same stress relief that big people get from a massage. Mind you, being a baby is a serious job, albeit a temporary one. Crying or giggling are both hard work. Air cycling or raising your head and legs a thousand or times in a day is no different to the pushups or abdominal crunches we do in gyms. What baby would not love a massage as a mark of serious appreciation, by the people whom he most trusts and depends on!
Since the earliest of times, parents and grandparents have been instinctively rubbing backs and patting shoulders while rocking their babies to sleep, and modern science is proving with all sorts of tests and studies that it works. What parents have known instinctively since time immemorial: human touch is good for us, from the earliest moments possible. Infant massage is beneficial to the baby for relaxation and for stimulation, for pain and colic relief, and for increasing the interaction (bonding) between the baby and parents. It increases circulation and stimulates the immune system for better functioning, relieves muscle tension from doing all those exercises and getting acquainted with their ever-changing bodies. Application of Tanupushti oil as lubricant for massage improves result without any dangerous side effects because it is without petroleum base made from edible natural oils and herbs.
It has herbs Phaseolus roxburghil and Sida cordifolia which have direct effect on muscle to improve strength and flexibility. Coccus lacca improves circulation and provide nurishment to the skin. Sesame oli is the base of Tanupushti which is the best oil according to Ayurvedas text.
How to massage a baby?
(we may want to give specific instructions for new borns and older ones)
Make yourself and your baby comfortable. Put a little bit of Tanupushti oil, about the size of a quarter in the palm of your hand and warm it (and your hands) by rubbing your palms together. Massage one leg completely before you begin the other.
Gently rub the oil on one leg.
Make circles with your thumb and fingers. Gently squeeze, alternating hands, from hip to ankle. Squeeze, release, repeat all the
way down the leg.
Using the pads of your thumbs, press gently against the sole of her foot, covering the entire surface.
Massage her toes, giving each a very slight tug as you finish it.
Make several (three is good) long strokes from her ankle to her hip.
Cup her heel in the palm of your hand and gently shake.
Repeat for other leg.
Apply oil in a downward motion from ribcage to diaper line.
Using the flat of your fingers, make clockwise circles. Begin with small ones around the navel, and enlarge them to cover her whole tummy.
Hand over hand, using the little finger edge of your hand, make smooth movements from the rib cage down.
Softly, with your thumbs, outline the bottom of her rib cage.
* With your fingers, both hands together, reach around to the back of her waist and pull forward area around the heart can hold a lot of anguish, even in the littlest ones, and massaging here may stimulate crying. Let her "tell her story," but if the crying becomes intense, cuddle her a minute, soothe her with your voice, and resume the massage. Also, some babies hold their arms quite tightly for several months; do not force them to open, but gently encourage, to the point of resistance but not beyond.

With one thumb or finger, stroke down her nose from her forehead to the tip.
Gently, with both hands, stroke her jawline from her ear to the center.
Massage her ears. Cover her back gently with oil.
