Learn Effective Baby Massage Techniques

Baby massage promotes a deep emotional bond between baby and parent while
supporting healthy development.

Regular massage can:

  • Improve blood and lymphatic circulation, supporting immunity and reducing colic, wind, and discomfort.
  • Promotes relaxation of skeletal muscles, aiding sleep and reducing restlessness.
  • Enhance your babies emotional wellbeing by increasing dopamine, serotonin and regulating melatonin rhythms — improving sleep and mood.
  • Vagal activity is boosted, which supports digestion, weight gain (especially in premature infants), and brain development. Cognitive and motor skills are stimulated, and it can also enhance myelination of the nervous system.
  • Finally, baby massage is also shown to provide therapeutic benefits for children with special needs, improving comfort, reducing crying, and increasing awareness
