BABY MASSAGE
The tactile stimulation, or touch, that an infant receives during their first year of life can impact their brain development and increase their ability to bond with their parents and/or primary caretakers. For very young infants, touch is the major source of information about the world around them. Even the most frail of newborns should receive some touch.
Benefits of infant massage include:- Enhances the development of the nervous system
- Aids in the communication and bonding process between parent and child
- Improves sleep & calms baby
- Alleviates intestinal/digestive discomforts
- Stimulates the Immune System
- Increases Circulation
Infant massage lessons, led by a qualified practitioner, last 60-90 minutes and are usually held in the home with any family members in attendance who will be regularly caring for the child.
Massage is an important tool to help enhance the communication between the infant and the caregiver, to allow for better awareness of the baby's physical condition, and to encourage a calmer, happier baby.
