Baby massage

One of our baby books recommends massaging as a soothing and bonding ritual, so we’ve incorporated it in our night time routine. After what I try to make his last feeding of the day – around 8pm – we set up a little blanket on our bed and I rub Lukas with a little massage oil. It is adorable. Sometimes he likes it, sometimes he doesn’t. I’m trying to get him to associate it with going to sleep, which he might still be a little young for. And he usually stays up until his next feeding around 11pm, so it’s not perfect yet. But last night it worked pretty well and he slept from about 10pm until 5am. Baby steps, as they say.
