When's the right age to stop baby/child manipulate?
I massaged my baby when she was an infant and it be great. She was a fabulous sleeper, never had any colic, was from time to time sick. I took a 1 hour class from a massage therapist and this was also discussed at my Mom & Baby yoga class. The instructor said that nearby was a period where her daughter be too busy for massage, but asked for it again at about age 3.
I experienced the same entry - from about 20 months to nearly age 3 my daughter wasn't interested in baby squeeze (she wouldn't sit still) and she preferred to be sung to sleep, but after getting a big girl bed this past January she thinks "lullabies are for babies" and she's been asking for final rubs and tummy rubs before bed for the past several months.
I love spending the time with her past she goes to sleep and I think it's great for our relationship. I didn't have a "touchy feely" relationship beside my parents. We VERY rarely hugged at all growing up. Sometimes I think I (and our relationship) missed out on something. I be over 30 before I ever had a massage at the spa. (I be totally creeped out by letting some stranger touch me.) I don't want my kid to have my hangups and I make a point of other hugging her at least a few times a day. We also talk give or take a few how people have to respect her body and if she doesn't want someone to touch her then how to ask them not to. (There's a "hugger" at daycare that she doesn't similar to.) So she knows it would be okay if she ever didn't want touch.
So I wonder how long it will be okay to rub her back? (If she told another kid on the playground that Mommy rubs her back beforehand bed at what age would the other kid think that was strange?)
I've read some responses to other questions online that read aloud it's okay for as long as she likes it. And found this great website that talks about the benefits of manipulate for making kids feel safe and loved especially if you're a working mum.

Answers: I don't ever expect you should stop baby massage, even as she grows older. Your rubbing her rear legs is a bonding moment for you both, and massage has great health benefits. I am a LMT and I enjoy parents who bring in their kids from infant to 12! If she asks you to stop then stop.
