The Benefits of Baby Massage
Touch is the most developed sense at birth and through massage you can communicate love, security and trust to your baby, helping to further improve your bond.
During massage all of the senses are stimulated between parent and baby. You will use eye contact, talking, singing, exchange of smells and positive touch to communicate and learn your baby's cues which will help to develop your unique attachment.
There's also many remedial benefits to Baby Massage including providing relief from symptoms of colic, trapped wind, teething, congestion and digestive troubles.
When you massage your baby you both release the “feel good” hormone called Oxytocin, which will help you both to relax. Massage is very calming and can help to soothe and settle your baby as well as promote sleep.
