Brush-a-bye baby

Take a soft brush and gently brush your baby's arms and legs using a long sweeping action from his fingers to the tops of his arms and back again, then from his toes to the tops of his legs and back. You can also brush his back. But avoid the face, tummy or chest as it can be unsettling.

Baby boost: like massage, brushing is a calming sensation that will stimulate your baby's sense of touch.
