Reflexology to improve baby's sleep

Reflexology to improve baby's sleep is a simple way to reassure a restless baby and help him fall asleep and should be done when the baby is relaxed, warm, clean and comfortable, such as at the end of the day after bathing, for example.

To start the reflexology massage, lay the baby on a comfortable surface, in a quiet and noiseless environment and with a temperature around 21ºC. The light should have a medium intensity, always maintaining eye contact with the baby talking to him in a sweet voice and in a low tone.
