Dealing with babies is not easy because you have to be careful since they have a delicate situation; they have small eyes, head, ears, hands, body and feet that make them more vulnerable. There are times that you are simply afraid of holding them for the fear of breaking their bones or something. You should know that babies need everything that you can give them. They cannot say what they need or want until they learn how to speak so you have to learn to take a hint. Like for example, a simple cry can mean something; they are either hungry, in pain or they are not comfortable. As a parent, you should develop something that other non parents will never understand- instinct. When you get used to your baby, you will know the meaning of their cry and their laugh.

Being a parent is indeed a responsibility that should be taken seriously because the life of a baby depends on you and your partner. There is no perfect parent because we make mistakes and we are not perfect in the first place but what we can do something great for our kids like being there for them from the moment they\’re born until they grow up even up to the time that they can stand on their own. The first thing that you should do is to provide them with whatever they need. Basic needs include food, shelter, clothing and education. After that, presence and time is crucial too! In this line let us take into consideration one of the most basic form of presence- massage. Massages are famous because of its various benefits. For babies, massage enhances:

1. emotional bond between family members; dads, brothers, sisters and grandparents can participate in the process. Babies need to know that there are many people who love them aside from their mothers. A simple touch will do. They say that one touch will do the trick. When you massage your baby, make sure that you do it gently. They are very small and fragile so you need to be slow.

2. sleeping pattern

3. digestion

4. gain weight

Giving ten minutes a day for massaging the baby will not harm them in fact it will greatly help in their growth and development. No matter how busy you are, just make time for your baby and don\’t leave everything to your baby sitters or nannies. If you want to massage your baby, you need to consider the following things:

1. Timing

2. Position

3. Massage oils

4. Make sure that your baby is comfortable. You will know if they are not comfortable enough because they will cry.

With the things mentioned above, your baby will surely know they are important in the family. You may feel that is not necessary or it can\’t play an important part in their overall growth and development but truth is, it can make a difference at the end of the day. You will lose nothing if you give it a try. Don\’t be afraid to touch your baby because you are afraid of their versatility.
