A six-month-old baby is developing rapidly. Every day that passes brings something new. This applies not only to emotional and mental development, but also to physical development. A baby at the age of 6-8 months demonstrates new motor skills and abilities with enviable regularity.
The answer to the question of whether a child needs massage at this age is quite obvious: the fragile musculoskeletal system of the crumbs needs support and development. We will talk about how to independently do a children's general strengthening massage for a child at 6-8 months in this material.
The need for a procedure
A 6 month old baby is interested in everything. As a rule, after six months, a period of crawling begins, active knowledge of the world around us. The kid needs communication, development of understanding of native speech. Many children begin to sit. Crawling is considered the most favorable and right transition from a horizontal position (in which the baby stayed until this age) to a vertical one.
With the adoption of a new position of the body, the load on the limbs, joints, and spine increases. In order for the musculoskeletal system to develop correctly, it is imperative to maintain the muscles and ligaments in an active and developed state. Massage helps to cope with this task. It also contributes to the development of speech, because during the session the mother actively communicates with the baby. The kid may well already answer her with a cheerful coo, separate sounds and syllables.
The massage effect is based on improving blood circulation, strengthening muscles, which will allow the joints and vertebrae to be in anatomical position. correct position even under increasing load.
Active children with the help of massage become calmer, and lethargic and inactive babies come to life. This is due to irritation of the skin receptors that occurs during massaging. Nerve endings send intense signals to the brain, the activity of which is noticeably stimulated, the state of the nervous system becomes more balanced.
Massage for a healthy child is called prophylactic. His mother may well spend at home.
If a child has certain pathologies that require the use of a special therapeutic massage, it is necessary to contact a specialist for it. A professional massage therapist will not allow the baby's condition to deteriorate, his actions will have a narrow focus.
Peculiarities
After six months, the baby sleeps much less, and is awake more often. Waking periods are a great time for physical and mental development. They definitely need to be used. For a child after 6 months, classical massage can have two goals at once - a general strengthening massage and soothing relaxation procedures.
At the age of 6-7 months, the duration of the massage session increases from 15 to 20 minutes. For a child aged 7-8 months, the duration of manipulations can be increased to 30 minutes. Massage now has both active and passive techniques. In the first case, the baby performs the elements of gymnastics simultaneously with massaging or after it, in the second, only massage techniques occur.
The techniques themselves are more complex than before. The impact becomes more tangible, the load increases. To already familiar techniques - stroking, rubbing, kneading - are added plucked and percussion techniques. We will tell about them below. However, the basis of the session is a classic massage, as before.
As before, a soothing massage is carried out in the evening, before going to bed, before bathing. Sessions to strengthen muscles, joints and ligaments are carried out only during the day, when the child does not have a long rest, since it has an exciting effect on the nervous system.
Preparation
Mom should be prepared in the best possible way for a massage session.
- Rings, bracelets, watches should be removed from hands.
- Short nails and a remote manicure will help make the massage safer.
- You should also prepare a massage place in advance. It is quite possible that the changing table, on which the sessions were previously held, is no longer suitable for these purposes: the child has grown noticeably, he needs a place for coups, “crawling” movements. A small table that should have been a dressing area no longer meets all the requirements of a massage table. It is best to choose a wider dining table, and if the apartment has a non-cold floor, procedures can even be done on it.
- For a child, you should prepare a gymnastic rug made of polyurethane foam - “foam”, it does not let the cold through.
- A diaper and a pack of wet wipes will also come in handy in case the child decides to relieve his natural needs right in the midst of a massage session.
- Next to the massage place, you should put massage oil or baby cream, put a dry towel or paper napkins for mom's hands, as well as bright toys that attract the attention of the little one.
- Take a fitball, if available.
- Place rings and a few large items such as large blocks. What they are useful for, we will tell below.
The air temperature in the room should not exceed 21 degrees Celsius. Make sure there are no open drafts, especially if you are massaging on the floor.
Mom should undress the child and start massaging him only with clean and warm hands. Pre-warm your palms and fingers, do not forget to lubricate them with a thin layer of baby cream.
The undressed baby needs to be given a few minutes to get used to the air temperature, to touch, after which you can begin to perform one of the complexes, which is relevant for children aged 6 to 8 months.
Execution technique
General recommendations for parents of children of this age category are quite simple: you need to perform massage, as before, increasing the load. In other words, at the first stage, the mother easily strokes the entire body of the crumbs, then proceeds to massage the arms and legs. When massaging the limbs, it is important that the trajectory of the hands of the massage therapist is from the bottom up. Start by kneading each finger and gradually rise higher.
Avoid direct massaging of the elbow and knee joints, as well as the popliteal and axillary cavities.
After rubbing, you can make a few pinching movements with your fingertips. Make sure that the child is not hurt and uncomfortable. Then carry out kneading movements of the main muscles and complete the massage of each arm or leg with soft and soothing strokes.
Move on to massage the chest and abdomen. This is done with circular movements around the navel. After 6 months, to the already familiar strokes, you can add slight pinching movements around the navel to strengthen the muscles of the tummy. chest massage with light strokes: tweaks and blows in the area of \u200b\u200bthe ribs are strictly prohibited.
In the supine position, the child is given a back massage. To the already familiar rubbing for six-month-old children, pinching effects of longitudinal long muscles, as well as weak blows with the edges of the palms along the spine. You can not massage the vertebrae themselves.
Pinch and pat can also stimulate the buttocks. All of these are passive exercises. Active for each of the ages. Let's consider them in more detail.
Complex for babies 6-7 months
After massaging the arms, add the Boxer exercise. Let the baby securely grab your index or thumb fingers and make boxing movements with his hands. Try to do this often. This exercise is very useful for hypotension, which replaces the increased muscle tone after 6 months of life.
After massage of the legs, the exercise "Skier" should be additionally introduced. Take the baby, lying on his back, by the shins and make sliding movements with the legs, as if the baby is skiing. This exercise perfectly develops the ankle, which in the future will be needed to master walking.
Mandatory at this age are flexion and extension of the legs and arms. After massaging the back, invite the baby to get the toy by turning towards it and reaching for it from a position on the back, on the stomach.
Encourage crawling, flips. You can try to pull yourself up by the handles at the end of the massage, as well as sit down. You should be extremely careful with sitting down: if the child does not yet show independent attempts to sit down, you do not need to do this exercise - excessive load on the spine will only harm the baby.
Complex for children 7-8 months
For such children, the complex is complicated by some active exercises. The massage itself is done according to the above scheme, nothing essentially new should be introduced into it. However, the complex of active techniques is expanding. As a rule, children already crawl tolerably, and therefore, after massaging and techniques to strengthen the back, add an exercise for crawling with obstacles. This is what our large soft block cubes and towel rollers are for. Teach your child to crawl over obstacles, go around them, look for new trajectories of movement.
Practice stretching after hand massage: hold the toy high above the child, let him try his best to reach it. After foot massage add circular motions feet - be careful with the knee and hip joints!
Sit-ups can be done by pulling both arms from the supine position, or by one arm, provided that the child is already trying to sit up on his own.
From 8 full months, you can add sitting exercises, for example, “boxing” with handles from just such starting position. Also add active techniques for development vestibular apparatus: flying "airplane" on the stomach around the room in the arms of dad (avoid tossing the child - they can negatively affect the development of his spine).
From 8 months you can start doing the exercise "Wheelbarrow" - all the little ones adore it. The child should walk on the handles while the mother keeps the legs elevated.
The following tips will help increase the effectiveness of the massage and not harm the baby.
- Do not massage if the child is teething or has a fever, and you should also stop exercising on the days of preventive vaccinations.
- Consult a pediatrician about the possibility of massage and gymnastics for your baby.
- Accompany all your manipulations with fairy tales, rhymes, nursery rhymes and songs. For a child, a session should not be burdensome and boring. For him it must be exciting game. Do not forget to say out loud the names of body parts, your actions, this will help the baby to remember and reproduce them faster.
- If the child is not in the mood and cries during the massage, cancel the session and reschedule it for a later time or another day. Only a massage that gives the baby pleasure, whether relaxing or invigorating, will be the most beneficial.
- Do not try to fit into the complex all the exercises that you have planned. Focus on the state and mood of the baby. Any number on your list can be donated if the child is not too complacent about the massage in general.
- If the temperature rises after a massage session, if the child's well-being changes, be sure to consult a doctor.
Massage is an indispensable way to prevent diseases and improve health in children. You can start massaging your baby from the first months of life. Shown massage in early age in order to properly develop the musculoskeletal system.
Blood circulation and muscle tone improved, all processes in the body returned to normal. Although the most significant thing is that during the procedure, brain development occurs through tactile sensations, since children in the first 12 months of life learn the world through touch and the sensations associated with it.
Despite the usefulness and significance of massage, it also has contraindications:
- acute inflammatory diseases;
- abscess;
- acute arthritis;
- hepatitis, etc.
Types of massage
There are several types of massage:
- Therapeutic massage for a child is done to treat a specific problem. It is prescribed by a specialist doctor. This may be a surgeon, orthopedist or neurologist.
- Corrective massage. It is prescribed after the end of the treatment in order to consolidate the result of treatment and prevent relapse. It is carried out, as well as therapeutic, by a specialist after an appointment.
- Prophylactic. This is the most common type, since parents can also do it at home. The purpose of this massage is to strengthen the child's health, immune and protective systems. And in order not to harm the baby, it is better to carry out the first procedures under the supervision of a specialist.
At different periods of a baby's life, preventive massage is done for different purposes and by different methods. So, a child up to three months old will undergo procedures aimed at relaxing and relieving muscle hypertonicity. But a child at 6 months old, doing a massage, needs to add movements aimed at developing the muscle groups responsible for the ability to sit and roll over.
There is also a classification according to the techniques used in massage:
- Stroking. These are the first moves. They warm up the skin, improve blood circulation, relax muscles and bring a calming effect. They do it with the palm from the bottom up: the way the lymph flows in the body, towards the lymph nodes.
- Trituration. These movements are more intense. They are made with three fingers clockwise. With these movements, we warm up the muscles and tendons, calm the nervous system, improve blood circulation and reduce tone.
- Kneading. This is an enhanced version of rubbing. With its help, blood circulation improves, puffiness is removed. Very well, these movements affect the respiratory system.
Massage technique for a 6 month old baby
We start the massage with the handles. Stroking, rubbing movement massage the palm. Gradually move on to the fingers. With a light circular motion, we move from the base of the finger to the edge. We make brushes on both sides. We repeat up to three times.
We do the following movements one after the other. We stroke the back of the hand from the fingers and up - up to 6 times.
On the outer part of the handle, stroke from the bottom up to the shoulder up to 6 times. After that, we rub with the second and fourth fingers, clasping the child's hand - up to 4 times. Now knead in circular motions up to 3 times. We pass to the second hand and do in the same sequence. Please note that armpits and joints cannot be massaged.
When you have finished massaging the other hand, put your thumbs into the hands of the child so that he grabs them. Spread the arms to the sides and bring the baby to the chest, as if hugging. Alternately change the right, then left hand at the top of the chest. Do up to 6 times. Now we raise and lower both hands up to 4 times, and then alternately. We make circular movements from bottom to top and from top to bottom up to 4 times.
Let's go to the stomach. We start with light stroking clockwise up to 6 times and continue with light rubbing movements in the same direction up to 3 times. We rub the oblique muscles of the abdomen - on the sides to the navel up to 6 times. The areas of the liver and spleen (this is the right and left hypochondrium) cannot be massaged.
Breast massage. Gently stroke from the middle of the chest to the armpits up to 6 times. Then we rub the chest with smooth movements, in the same direction up to 4 times. Try not to touch the nipple area during the massage.
Foot massage. With one hand we slightly raise the child's leg, and with the other we make stroking movements along the sole in the form of a figure eight up to 6 times. Then we knead each finger, as on the handles, only twice. We do stroking the rear of the foot up to 4 times and rubbing up to 3 times. We turn to stroking the outer part of the leg - from the foot to the hip joint - up to 6 times, and then rubbing - up to 4 times. We do the same with the second leg. Do not massage the groin area and inside hips.
We turn the child on the tummy and proceed to massage the back. First, we stroke the back of the baby in the direction from the buttocks to the neck up to 6 times on each side. We proceed to rubbing with fingertips or palms. We make movements from the middle of the back to the sides and at the same time we rise from the buttocks to the neck. Finishing the massage back easy tapping with fingertips for no longer than 3 seconds, except for the lumbar region. The area of the spine during a back massage can not be touched.
Once again, stroke the legs from the foot to hip joint. On each side 6 times. And for 5 seconds we do light pinching of the baby's buttocks. We finish all manipulations with light strokes.
Regardless of how many months the child is, massage should be done 40 minutes after feeding in a well-ventilated room at a temperature not lower than 22 degrees. Hands should be warm and oiled. If he cries and does not want to do these procedures, do not force him, but rather reschedule for another time. And yet, when giving a massage to a child, talk to him, explain your actions, thereby you will not only improve physical state the baby, but also to develop it psychologically from the first months.
