Benefits of Baby Massage
Massaging your baby gives you a time when you can relax and be together and it has lots of wonderful benefits too.
Research has shown that babies who are regularly massaged feed and sleep better than those who are not and constipation and colic are reduced. Massage can also help to aid relaxation and reduce stress for both parent and baby.
Baby Massage can also help to:
Ease colds and congestion, reflux and wind
Relieve teething pain
Increase the production of endorphins, which help to reduce pain and tension
Tone babies muscles, helping to encourage movement and flexibility
Stimulate and strengthen the baby's immune system
Strengthens the bond between parent and child
Can improve relaxation so encourages a longer sleep pattern
