WHY PRACTICE BABY MASSAGE?
Babies thrive on touch and it is crucial to their growth and development. Baby Massage is a safe, effective, evidence based practice that builds a bond between parent and child through nurturing & compassionate touch. By building a safe, predictable and reliable experience, baby massage can help optimize the growth and development of your baby.
BENEFITS OF MASSAGE WITH YOUR BABY:
· Helps babies recover from birth by reducing stress hormones (cortisol)
· Boosts feel good hormones (for example serotonin – same hormone produced by nursing) helping baby feel happy and relaxed
· Encourages good sleeping patterns
· Can help preterm babies gain weight (stimulates neurological development)
· Helps relieve pain/discomfort from gas; colic; constipation & teething
· Develops wonderful trust and sense of attachment between parent and child. Strong bonding is formed through this practice of observing what your baby likes my spending quality, uninterrupted, unplugged time together.
· IN SUMMARY – a less fussy, less crying, better sleeping, happier baby!
Infancy is a short and sweet time in the life of your child. Bonding through massage creates memories that last a lifetime. Infant Massage can be learned by parents, grandparents or siblings.
