A baby’s health — emotional, physical, and mental — 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 is a great way to help babies grow and thrive, but it’s also a wonderful way for parents and caregivers to connect with their infants, and gain confidence in caring for their babies.
Parents who are able to incorporate infant massage into their daily routines will provide a positive impact on their baby’s social-emotional development and attachment. Parents will gain a deeper understanding of their baby’s needs and will enjoy playing with their baby.
