Baby Massage » When not to massage your Baby
There are certain contraindications to massaging your baby such as when he or she has unexplained swelling or bruising, perhaps from recent injections; or unusual rashes. It is also not advisable to massage your baby when he or she has had a fall, has cut himself, develops new scar tissue, or if he or she has any known heart conditions or high blood pressure. If you are in doubt, consult your doctor for his advice.
Do not massage baby after his or her feeding. Dont wake up the baby for a massage.
Do not massage a newborn infant at bath time as this can be over-stimulating.
