* what you need to prepare for the massage

* to recognize the “talking” cry from the “I need help” cry and how to react to each
* ways to calm your baby
* the Baby’s First Massage routine, which is so simple a child can learn it and gentle enough to use safely on any baby (even pre-term babies, once they are medically stable)
