Infant Massage

A baby's health - whether it is his or her physical health or emotional development - can all be positively influenced by infant massage. At birth, touch is one of the most developed senses that allows babies to receive input from the world around them. Stimulating a baby's sense of touch, will have beneficial effects in helping babies to grow and thrive. Infant massage is a great way to help parents gain confidence in caring for their babies. Here at About Play, we believe in supporting parents and caregivers in meeting their baby's needs. We have six staff members who are certified in infant massage in order to better serve families.
