Research shows that massage can relax babies, improve their sleep patterns, and calm them when they are irritable. Infant massage should last about 15 minutes.

Combining a first name that ends in a vowel with a surname that starts with a vowel generally isn’t the best choice – the names tend to run together, like Eva Anderson. Avoid first names that rhyme with your surname. It’s probably wise to resist puns too. A name like “Holly Wood” or “Rosie Lee” will be fun for about five minutes, not a lifetime.
