Benefits of baby massage include:

Relief  –  Baby massage can help to offer relief from the discomfort of digestive pain caused by wind or constipation.  It can also be used to soothe teething pain and help relieve nasal and chest congestion if baby has a cold.

Relaxation  –  When you massage your baby, both of your bodies produce lovely “feel good” hormones which can help you both to relax.  A more relaxed baby is likely to feed and sleep better.

Development  –  Baby massage can help to mature the nervous system and strengthen bones and joints.  It stimulates and supports your baby’s physical, emotional and social development.

Bonding  –  Oxytocin “the nurturing, love hormone” is produced when you massage your baby which helps to encourage and develop bonds between you and your baby.

Baby massage is a wonderful tool that amongst other things, will allow you to understand your baby’s subtle non verbal language and develop your ability to listen to your baby through the creation of a special intimate time together.  When you massage your baby you lay down the foundations of trust and security which will help you to build a happy and confident relationship with your baby for the future.
