How can I get my baby to sit still for a massage?

As babies grow and become mobile, traditional massages often become a challenge. To keep them occupied, try giving them a small, safe item from your diaper caddy, singing songs to keep them giggling, or performing the massage while they are in the bathtub. Some parents successfully transition to 'lotion time' where they simply apply moisturizer while the baby plays or stands, rather than insisting on a formal massage session.
