What to Expect After a Caesarean.
Baby Massage
This massage is extremely enjoyable to both Mother
and child, and can help to replace the uterine contractions your
baby may have missed out on experiencing during a natural birth
Touch your baby, spend time massaging his/her skin,
this is greatÉ especially just before your baby's bath-time, or
just after a lovely bath.
You can lay your baby on a towel or rug (somewhere
warm if it's a cold day) and spend time gently massaging him/her
all over with a product, like Sorbolene cream which washes off in
water, or a gentle oil blend.
Start by very gently caressing your baby's
head and face, then caress him/her all over in an outwards direction,
moving down his/her body -> front and back.
Gently squeeze his/her little legs and arms like
sausages -> working from the body to the toes/fingers, massaging
each digit gently.
Try it - you, and your baby, will love it!
