Here is one suggested routine:
Feet and toes	Rub your baby's ankles and feet, stroking from heel to toe. Then concentrate on each toe individually.
Legs	Work from his or her ankles and calves and stroke up towards his or her knees and thighs. Keep a consistent, gentle pressure as you go along.
Chest and abdomen	Stroke down your baby's chest, following the delicate curves of his or her ribs. When you reach his or her abdomen, rub in I circular motion, working outwards from the navel.
Arms	Using your fingers and thumbs, apply gentle strokes along his or her arm - starting from his or her shoulder and work down to the fingertips.
Neck and shoulders	Gently massage your baby's neck from his or her cars to his or her shoulders, and from his or her chin to his or her chest. Then stroke his or her shoulders from his or her neck outwards.
Head	Lightly massage the crown of his or her head using circular strokes. Then stroke down the sides of his or her face. Gently massage his or her forehead, working from the centre out and moving over the eyebrows and cheeks to finish around his or her ears. End your massage with some long, light strokes running the whole length of the front of your baby's body.
