I do baby massage with Olivia......we went to classes run through our local baby health clinic when she was only about a month old, and Olivia enjoys a massage usually every 3rd day or so.......she is now at an age when she LOVES it and knows when I ask her "Would you like some Mummy Massage?" what that means & she goes crazy with happy anticipation!

However, we did try it early on, from when she was about six weeks old, to try and sooth her from crying. (From about 6 weeks to 3 months she was a shocker for getting over-tired & would scream for 20mins-2hrs prior to any attempt to put her down at bedtime). I would try a massage before she got over-tired to try and calm her, but it seemed to overstimulate her?

A bath, however, at this stage of the evening, seemed to really solve the issue! (I guess babies, like grown-ups, respond to different things at different times!)

Overall though, I am a HUGE advocate of baby massage & would totally recommend it to anyone. It is just a gorgeous thing to share with your child & we both feel great afterwards!
