Positively interacting and connecting with your baby is so important in developing trust and communication. Colief’s Baby Massage Oil does just that with its warming, soothing and relaxing effect through gentle massage. Created with gentle skin in mind Colief Baby Massage Oil contains 100% natural ingredients including Sweet Almond Oil, Lavender Oil, Jojoba and Vitamin E.
This nourishing oil absorbs quickly and helps soften dry skin. It can be gently massaged into your baby’s skin to moisturise, soothe, and calm your baby. The calming effect of the massage makes your baby feel cared and loved for. It encourages eye to eye contact, smiling and mutual interaction. It can help babies who suffer from sleep problems relax and can help reduce crying and irritability.
It promotes bilateral movements for your baby which means your baby is using both sides of the body and brain, which is hugely beneficial in their early development. It’s also proven to assist in strengthening the baby’s primary systems. This includes digestive issues associated with colic and general intestinal problems which is very common for young babies. With just a simple gentle massage into the baby’s skin the hydrating blend enriched with natural ingredients is quickly absorbed. This leaves your baby feeling calm and comforted.
For babies suffering with colic or trapped wind, baby massage is of great value. Colic can have many causes, but in some cases, it is caused by temporary lactose intolerance. This means that some babies are unable to fully break down the lactose in breast milk and infant formula, causing discomfort in your baby. Including some simple baby massage techniques into your baby’s daily bedtime and bathing routine could help relieve some of the discomfort caused by colic.
Prior to using Colief® Baby Massage Oil for the first time we would recommend a skin patch test 24 hours before use.
