Infant Weight Gain with Massage
Every living being responds well to a good touch. For a parent who has just delivered a premature baby, the first thing on the mind is to see the little one blossom. Getting the baby to gain weight requires the right method in place so that s/he consumes the right amount of breast milk. The bonding experience between mother and child in this context is the best. However, there comes a time when the little munchkin may need a careful massage session. As the little one relaxes, s/he will be ready to digest the fat-rich milk. Here are a couple of ways how massage at the Lymphatic Drainage Massage Clinic helps stimulate weight gain in premature babies.
The right oil – olive, coconut, baby or anything that is suitable for the baby is slowly and firmly massaged on the body of the infant. Since the baby is tiny, it is very critical that the expert uses her skills in the right way. In addition, since the bones of the infant are very tender at this stage and more so since the little one is a premature child, the need of the hour is to exercise caution. When the skin of a baby glows, there is nothing more pleasant for a parent to experience. And giving the baby a warm bath after the massage is such a wonderful experience for both baby and parent.
Parents and family members are usually advised by doctors to massage the little one before opting for professional help. However, if one is not sure about the medium of massage, it is wise to seek advice from experts who know how to work their way. Parents are bound to do their bit for sure, but the technique must include a method that encourages the infant to feed more and gain weight. As the baby increases in size, with a few massage sessions, it does not mean that it is the end of the road. The pattern has been established and it is a good idea to keep on with the sessions to ensure that the little one leads a happy and fulfilled life.
Breathing Pattern Improvement
Through massage, the breathing pattern of the child improves and the nasal passages open up rather well. The technique used by the expert ensures that the body is kept warm and never cold especially when there are extreme climatic conditions. As the sessions go on the baby will sleep more because s/he is relaxed and will automatically reach out for more food. The additional objective is to ensure that the baby also defecates normally, urinates regularly, and does not vomit.
