Start with your baby lying on his stomach. Then gently rub your hands (make sure they're warm) back and forth six times on each of the following areas for about one minute in each area:
- From the top of your baby's head to his neck
- From his neck across his shoulders
- From his upper back to his waist
- From his thigh to his foot and back to his thigh, on each leg
- From his shoulder to his hand and back to his shoulder, on each arm
Now turn your baby over onto his back so that he is facing you. Move each of his arms gently, flexing it and then straightening it. Exercise each arm and each leg in this way, and then both legs, as if he were pedaling a tiny bicycle, for a total of five minutes.
