New parent? A great way to bond with your baby is by gently massaging his or her body. Massaging can relieve discomfort associated with teething, congestion, gas, colic and emotional distress. It can also improve muscle tone and digestion.

Here's how and when to massage: hold your baby in your lap and gently rub his or her back, arms and legs; avoid massaging when your baby is fussy or hungry; an evening massage will help prepare your infant for a good night's sleep.
