• A foot massage can be beneficial for your baby's health and help to calm the nervous system. In addition, most babies love foot massages. Pour about 1 tsp. of baby oil on your hands and carefully spread it on the baby's feet. Use your thumbs to gently massage the soles of the baby's feet in small, circular motions. Gently stretch each toe up. Finish by holding the baby's feet in your hands to warm for a minute or so. shopping list

• A gentle body massage for your baby can relax both of you and help to create a very special bond. The focus is on closeness and body contact, so be sure your touch is soft and gentle at all times, especially with newborns. Choose a warm, peaceful place where you can relax. Use 1 tsp. of baby oil at a time and gently massage your baby all over while maintaining eye contact. shopping list
