Baby Reflexology can help to relieve soothe pain and discomfort your baby may have.
Lay your baby down, gently pushing down on certain parts of the feet. Massage gently increasing the pressure of your fingers each time you reach a certain pressure point on your baby’s foot.
Make this fun for your baby/toddler so he doesn’t become stressed.
Here are a few pressure points that you can target when your baby/toddler is showing signs of pain and discomfort:
Please note that there are a lot of different views on baby reflexology but we found this one the best that explains it in detail.
wow – this is interesting – amazing actually. I will definitely try this. Only problem is, baby doesn’t usually like one to touch her feet?
Perhaps if done correctly she will embrace it … I hope.
She is teething terribly and it would be great if this could assist in soothing the pain for her.
Hi Noori, I haven’t tried it personally but it looks great. I have massaged both my babies, my daughter hated it and my son loves it. He loves any sort of touch. I think it really depends on each child.
Have to try this!!!
Especially the purple for teeth area
Do you think babies get headaches?
I suffer from terrible headaches. Ive been to so many doctors but everyone just say that its stress.
Where should i press if i think she might have a headache?
I am so sorry to hear that you struggle with headaches Marisca. I have also at times struggled with migraines and headaches, also stress induced.
Here is a really cool post I found online now about where on the foot to push for headaches and migraines.
Good luck!
Thanks Lynne!!!
