The skin is also a sense organ and let's not forget the importance it also has in everyone's social life, through the skin we transmit information, sensations and emotions.

When is it appropriate to start giving massages to children?
We can annihilate an anxiety right away: there is no wrong time to do the massage to your child.
The massage can be done from the first days of the child’s life, up to twelve months and even more; in fact, the massage changes depending on the various stages of the child’s development to grow together with him.
As the baby becomes older and more lively from the motor point of view, the execution of the massage adapts to the needs and, consequently, becomes less laborious.
What are the benefits of massage to the newborn? All you need to know
The massage of the child guarantees many benefits for children but also for older people.
Several scientific researches have confirmed the numerous benefits of the massage for the development and maturation of the newborn and the child; firstly on a physical level, from a psychological and emotional point of view of your baby and, even, on the relationship that will then establish with parents.
Do not forget that performing the massage gives the parent a tool to talk deeply with his child, making physical contact with the child’s skin and gentle caresses take the place of words, communicating to the child what is not voiced.
In fact, through the gentle touch of the baby’s skin, the right pressure exerted and the regulation of the breath in a quiet way, the child perceives deep in the emotions of the parent who massages him and his temperament. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt a calm, serene and calm behavior.
How do I do it?
All moms and dads know that their babies need to be held, cuddled, rocked and touched lovingly. Through physical contact, the parent is able to understand the language of the child and react accordingly by listening with respect to his needs, what he appreciates and what annoys him.
Precautions before the massage: the choice of place and a sweet approach
Before you start massaging the baby, it is important to observe some tricks.
First, it is essential to choose an indicated, orderly environment, free of dangers and edges; above all, it is important to opt for a peaceful place and protected from annoying external noise, otherwise the child may get scared or even angry.
In addition, it is better to prefer a bright environment so that the baby can clearly see the person at his side and not be alarmed; you will see, in this way the baby will be able to relax among the cuddles of his beloved parents!
To establish a serene beginning of the massage, it is recommended to establish a first approach with the baby: you can look him in the eyes, taking care to gently wrap a small part of his body, perhaps gently rubbing his hands in front of his face; this way allows you to respect the space and timing of the child by asking him, caress after caress, permission to massage him.
This is a fundamental step to involve the child, make the massage an agreed moment of closeness and not a passive act. With these small initial measures, as they say, those who start well are already half the work.
What time of day is the best for baby massage?
One thing is certain: there is no universally ideal or equal moment for everyone. In fact, it will be the parent to evaluate which moment is the best and the most favorable during the day.
In general, it is not recommended to perform the massage close to meals when the stomach is full, for example after an abundant feeding, otherwise the baby may feel sick. In addition, it is good to avoid the idea of doing the massage to the baby during the moment of nap, or the baby will wake up from his necessary sweet sleep; similarly, it is better to avoid the lasting moments when the child is hungry, sleepy, cold or crying.
Is there an ideal duration for massage?
It is difficult to determine a priori how long the massage will last. It will be the child, together with the parent, to decide how much he will want to be massaged that day, as well as which part of the body will prefer to be massaged quietly. In fact, we must remember that the moment of the massage requires the parent to learn to observe, recognize and respond to the needs of his child with care and attention.
During the baby massage: where to start?
As for the areas from which to start surely it is better to start from the feet: who does not love a foot massage? Even our little ones will definitely appreciate it and then, when we are sure that they are relaxing and want to receive our massage, we can proceed with the legs. At this point you can switch to the hands, arms and abdomen: it is important to remember that not all children like to get massaged the belly and if we see that our baby is impatient, better avoid this area.
What products to choose? Your and her new best friends
Regardless of the numerous alternatives regarding the place and time of the massage, what is certain is that appropriate products and specific ingredients must be used.
It is better to use oils or creams that do not have too strong scents that could irritate the child and instead choose simple ingredients, such as the most classic, almond oil. Be careful in this case that it is organic and without special additions.
Olio di mandorle dolci bio
Our organic sweet almond oil has a specific emollient and softening function. It’s a cold pressed oil from organic almonds and can be used as a massage oil on all skin types, even the most delicate, like that of children.

Shea Butter
A great ingredient to look for is Shea Butter. This precious ingredient with a very malleable texture is ideal for the moment of massage, but not only; it is fundamental in case of skin redness, irritation, and even burns, thanks to its soothing and healing properties.
For this reason it is used to protect the delicate skin of newborns from possible damage caused by the diaper. In particular, our butter is sold without any impurities because it is deodorized through filters and, above all, without the use of chemicals.
Other interesting ingredients for baby massage
It is always better to prefer products containing chamomile, anti-inflammatory and soothing, as well as products based on Marigold; in fact, its extracts improve skin hydration, make the skin more elastic and resistant to irritation, at the same time performing a scar action.
Last but not least, Sweet Almond Oil: thanks to the fact of having a composition very similar to the sebum that the skin normally produces, this oil is assimilated very well by the skin as recognized "friend" and not a completely foreign substance; For this reason, it is suitable for sensitive skin or with problems such as redness and irritation.
