Legs & Feet
Massaging those legs is a great way of relaxing those muscles that are constantly working hard; kicking, moving and beginning to bear weight. Strokes away from the body help with the release of tension and boosts circulation to the feet and toes.
Strokes towards the body is returning all the deoxygenated blood back to the heart to be pumped all around baby's organs.
By massaging those feet and tiny toes, believing that zones on the feet correspond to different areas of the body, we are aiding baby's state of well being to the whole body. Stimulation of the nervous system increases baby's body awareness which leads to the development of baby reaching/discovering their feet to aid those developmental mile stones.
Boost your oxytocin levels, bask in the wonderful feeling and strengthen your bond with your baby
