Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Thanks to all for info and recommendations regarding my clients hard breast and the baby born with forceps. I wanted to share with you the massage of the baby. He really liked the frankinsense and the trauma life so that is what we went with. It was very clear his choice. He even allowed his head to be touched and massaged. The massage went well and I added frankinsense to the oil for the massage. He became a little fussy at one point, but I talked to him and told him it was ok and did very long strokes on his body to calm him down from his shoulers to toes. He even was super happy on his tummy and fell asleep for a short time. As we prepared for his bath he felt hungry and nursed when I came back in the room the baby was so relaxed and sleeping on the bed fully extended and long, his toes apart and feet relaxed he looked like he was in savasana. It was truly amazing! Moms breasts are much better she did a castor oil massage before the shower yesterday. I think it helped a quite a bit. the breasts were much softer today. I am having her pump until they fill empty about 1-2 ozs after feeding. Thanks again, Sonya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Sonya, as soon as she has enough for her baby, have her gradually diminish the pumping or she will create an oversupply which will predispose her to engorgement and possibly plugged ducts, etc. Vicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
