An Ayurvedic Perspective on Baby care

Ayurveda is an Indian system of medicine that is more than 5000 years and focuses on the concept of holistic healing. 'Kaumarbhratya', one of the eight branches of Ayurveda, is especially dedicated to the good health of children. Traditionally, Ayurvedic preparations have been used to build a healthy body and sharp intellect, from infancy to adulthood. With special emphasis on baby care, Ayurveda emphasizes on the use of certain tonics and medications that can develop immunity power, intelligence in children and protect them from various kinds of diseases. The concept of childcare in Ayurveda outlines the health care measures from preconception to prenatal care from the mother to foetus right through the delivery from the baby’s growth to adolescence.

The importance of massaging your baby:

Baby massage is the gentle, rhythmic stroking of the baby's body with your hands, and this is usually done using oils or a moisturiser to help your hands glide smoothly over the baby's skin. As part of the massage routine, you can gently manipulate the baby's ankles, wrists and fingers, while providing adequate support to the body. Since this touch may be new to the baby, talking softly, or humming while massaging will be calming and reassuring for the baby.

Baby massages with natural baby oil have numerous benefits and the soothing strokes of your hands even stimulate the production of the feel-good hormone oxytocin in you and the baby. Oxytocin is the hormone that provides an individual with a warm, loving, and happy feeling.
