Tiredness, Tantrums, Tempers and Tenderness !

When you were expecting, life was probably peaceful, if not, probably blissful. Then baby came along which is blissful, but at times not so peaceful which then disrupts the blissful!

Whether you just welcomed your precious bundle of joy or are juggling every day living with an active toddler or an army of toddlers, the art of understanding each other goes beyond the realm of normal forms of communication.

We learn very fast that our blissful little ones are unable to communicate in "our" language and ours in theirs. There seem to be 100 ways little people want to tell us they are hungry, tired, messy, or unwell.  When we don't understand or can't act swiftly enough, they often get frustrated (enter: tiredness, tantrums, tempers). But you have one Superpower over them (enter: Tenderness!). 
There could be so many reasons why your baby is acting up, but we all know that touch is the powerful language of connection that seems to melt all our woes away.

Touch! The Magic Of Massage

While there are a number of ways to help your baby to calm down, the benefits of giving them some Tender Loving Care with massage is priceless. Massage can soothe your baby and help them to calm down and even to sleep. Massage has many added benefits for your baby, including aiding digestion, improving circulation, and easing teething pain. Massage is a great way for you and your partner to bond with your baby, and you may find it relaxing, too! Gently stroking and massaging your baby's skin can not help them relax, but it may help them to settle better and have a good sleep.
