massage for no-longer-babies

[Hamandcheese]

I used to do baby massage on my DS1 (now 4 yrs) when he was a baby, stopped when he was about 10mo.
Sonce watching me do it on our baby, he's wanted me to massage him again, which is lovely. I do the same things as I do on the baby, with the same oil.

is there any advice / ideas on massage on older children? would it be Ok to put some essential oil in (eg lavender - he has difficulties relaxing? any comments?

not sure where to put this!

It will be fine.
Go ahead.

hi.i have had the same thing with my ds who is nearly 4.i learnt baby massage with him and have done it on dd2 and now dd3.i also just do the same massage on him as on the baby,with the same oil,but i do remember the lady who ran the classes i attended gave me some info about massage for older children,but i dont know where they are.i think there were just different strokes to use and little rhymes to say.

sorry,cant help much but i had to post as im so glad im not the only one who does this
