hi I'm Gail Berry from blossom and berry
and I'm channel mums baby massage expert
I'm here with SJ as part of our baby
massage a serious today's video is all
about how you can use baby massage to
help with colds and congestion so before
you watch this video make sure you check
out our baby massage 101 so you have
exactly what you need to get started and
we've also already covered colic and
constipation and teething which is a
really good one for me so coughs and
colds now yeah definitely so the whole
video series is designed to help you
with all of those things which you know
babies suffer from it can be really
frustrating it can be really
overwhelming so it's great to have these
practical techniques that you can use to
help to see them
[Music]
so we're going to start off with some
strokes for nasal congestion what we
want to do is help to drain the nasal
passages to remove any mucus because
what happens is baby's nasal passage
it's really really tiny when they're
first born and so if they become
congested it's really hard for them to
clear that and they've got to rely on
either gravity or some easing so what
we're gonna do is some massage strokes
to move that that congestion move that
mucus through the nasal passages so they
can breathe more easily and obviously
because we're working on the face as
well nice clean hands short nails
because we don't want to catch baby's
skin at all the oil that we'll be using
is a vegetable based organic sunflower
seed oil or coconut oil and because
we're working on the face we only want
to use a tiny amount because we don't
want it to go into their mouth because
it's vegetable basis if if it does it's
not going to cause a problem we're going
to place our first finger either side of
the bridge of the nose so we go up the
bridge of the nose to the tear duct too
like that that's it back down under the
cheek bones keep going over the ears and
then here underneath the chin so that
makes it look really easy doesn't it yes
okay so now obviously the dolls are
gonna do what we want but try this on
their own okay it's gonna be a little
bit more tricky so either side here we
go art the bridge of the nose if you're
trying this at home
down under the cheekbones over the ears
and underneath the chin and again up to
the tear duct back down under the
cheekbones over the ears and underneath
the chin if this becomes difficult to do
the whole thing the other thing you can
do is just very firmly just stroke down
the nose but that would just clear this
part really to be effective you want it
to go all the way through we'll move on
to do a slightly different stroke what
we do is we're going to work just at the
base of the rib cage here with the flat
part of the fingers we glide up the
center of the chest like this that's it
lovely and then come around the
shoulders as if you're drawing a heart
shape and then we come back like that so
what this is doing is its relaxing all
the must
as the chess to encourage deep breathing
and if there was congestion here it just
very gently lifts and encourages baby to
you know get rid of that yeah so we can
do that one which is nice and then we
can also do a cross so we can go over
the chest and then we're going to just
glide back so this the upward stroke has
a little bit more pressure again because
you want to just loosen any congestion
in the area and that's pretty much it so
just some very simple techniques that
you can use in the day or at night when
baby wakes up if they're suffering from
colds and congestion just to kind of
help to soothe calm and make them feel
more comfortable so I hope that you can
try them out with good so thank you so
