Benefits of baby massage
Massage is a wonderful and personal gift that you can share with your baby.
Baby massage is an ancient art used in many diverse cultures to help with a variety of physical and emotional needs and to promote relaxation.
Babies crave skin contact. Touch is your baby’s most developed sense at birth and Baby Massage enables you to make your baby feel secure and safe by showing them how much you love and care for them.
Everyone has the ability to touch and massage another. You do not need any qualifications to massage your baby and it will enable you to learn about and respond to your baby’s body language.
Baby massage is simply a method that helps to reinforce the natural power of touch.
Baby massage will allow you to understand your baby’s subtle non verbal language and develop your ability to listen to your baby through the creation of a special intimate time together.
When you massage your baby you lay down the foundations of trust and security which will help you to build a happy and confident relationship with your baby for the future.
