Baby and I went to our first baby massage class. What fun. The babies lay on blankets in front of their mothers. We poured avocado oil into our palms, rubbed our hands together, let the babies smell the oil, and asked them if they would like a massage. My baby looked like he wanted to taste my hands, so I took it as a yes.
Nobody cried. Nobody fussed. I think this class was a hit.
We practiced baby massage moves with names like "Indian Milking" and "Swedish Milking". We learned that cold-pressed oils are best, because they penetrate the skin better. Cold-pressed means no heat or chemicals have been used to remove the oil from the vegetable. We learned that you can use coconut oil, almond oil, avocado oil, olive oil, or other oils-- but the ones from the grocery store are usually not cold-pressed. Regular "baby oil" is synthetic, and was not recommended by the teacher.
We spent the whole class on just legs, feet, toes, and ankles today. We have homework, too.
