Learning Baby Massage
Learning to massage your baby is one of the best gifts you can ever give yourself, and your child. Research shows that baby massage increases bonding. This is wonderful for fathers whose baby's are breastfed, as regular massage can give them their own special bonding activity.
Benefits of Baby or Infant Massage
Massage improves the blood circulation and can improve the condition of your baby's skin. It can help regulate their sleep pattern and can soothe a colicky baby. Massage also helps soothe the digestion and improve the function of the digestive tract.
Infant massage facilitates body awareness and helps the development of coordination and learning skills. It helps to stimulate your child’s immune system and strengthens the development of their heart and lungs. Massage also helps sensory stimulation and can offer great relief for teething pains. Massage helps both parent and baby to relax. It can help you learn about your baby's needs and desires and makes them feel loved.
