In a month are so I will have a newborn boy. I will check with the pediatrician about this.
Great post here. I never thought about giving my child a massage but it does sound like it can work wonders for both infant and parent. I agree with Moodaddy, It’s important to consult with an expert or pediatrician about things like this. I want to make sure I don’t cause any damage. Thanks for all the great information here!
very interesting, I know my child will be getting tons of massages
