Baby massage is a skill both you and your baby will learn, so choosing the right time is essential. Aim to massage when your baby is content, not when they’re hungry, tired, or right after feeding. Massaging just after a meal, especially the tummy, can cause them to throw up. You can, however, try massaging their legs or feet after a feed. Babies are sensitive to your stress, so ensure you’re relaxed too. For babies with reflux, massage is best before feeding and positioning them on our K’nuffel will help.
Avoid massaging if your baby is hungry, overtired, or crying.
Don’t massage if your baby has a fever, a skin condition, or is generally unwell.
Wait 48 hours after an immunisation and avoid the injection site for one week.
Do not wake your baby for a massage or massage their tummy right after feeding.
Avoid areas of broken, sore, or inflamed skin.
If your baby has a medical condition, consult your healthcare provider before starting baby massage.

Many parents find that incorporating a calming massage into their baby’s bedtime routine can improve sleep. However, each baby is different, so results may vary.
While baby massage and our wonderful K’nuffel will help ease some discomfort caused by reflux, it’s not guaranteed. Consult with your doctor if you have concerns.
Baby massage can relieve common ailments, but it’s a skill that takes time to learn. Patience, practice, and consistency are key. Avoid starting massage only when your baby has discomfort, as it may cause negative associations with touch. Instead, make massage a regular part of your routine so that both you and your baby are comfortable and familiar with it before using it to help with specific issues.
