Infant Massage
Infant Massage is a holistic and natural way for a parent to bond with their child. It incorporates nurturing touch, massage, and reflexology in a loving, fun, one-on-one interaction that is nourishment for your baby's healthy development of mind, body and spirit.
What are some of the benefits of infant massage?
- Relaxes Infant
Loving touch lessens tension, fussiness and irritability. Digestion is aided and this can provide relief of gas and colic. Massage is also a wonderful way to lessen the stress of the parent and baby.
- Enhances Bonding
Touch conveys nurturing and love, the essential ingredients for emotional and physical growth and well being.
- Aids Growth and Development
Studies have shown increased weight gain, and immune function. Myelination of nerves is also increased. These things in turn are needed for brain and muscle development.
- Promotes Communication
Parents become more aware of the baby's nonverbal cues. One-on-one communication instills a massage of love and security.
- Improves Baby's Sleep
As your infant learns to relax and release stress, sounder and longer sleep is often the end result.
