Infant Massage
Nurturing Touch, Bonding for Life.
What is Infant Massage?
Infant massage is a gentle, hands-on approach that fosters connection between parents and their babies. This nurturing practice not only strengthens the parent-child bond but also serves as an effective tool to lower stress levels for both.
Incorporating massage into your infant’s bedtime routine can help ease the transition into sleep, promoting relaxation and reducing tension throughout their body. It's a peaceful way to wind down after a busy day, helping babies feel more secure and comfortable.
As a pre-feeding routine, infant massage can also help to calm a fussy baby, creating a soothing environment for successful feeding.
The key to infant massage is gentle, mindful touch. Each stroke is a way to connect, offering reassurance and love, while supporting your baby's physical and emotional well-being. Whether used to prepare for sleep or feeding, or simply to bond, this practice offers a world of benefits for both baby and parent.
