Massage is the most natural treatment in the world
Did you know that in India and in fact across many indigenous communities, massage is practiced up to 3 times a day on babies as young as 1 month old? Mothers, aunts, sisters and brothers happily massage the new baby as a way to welcome its soul into its body and to ease the transition of entering our world. Just follow your intuition, listen to your baby and your hands will follow (use a neutral warmed oil like olive oil or Neal's Yard baby oil which we stock in the Serendip Store), avoid all essential oils and keep the room toasty and warm. Alternatively, why not try out our Mother and Baby massage and have some much needed pampering yourself!
