Why baby massage is so beneficial
Baby massage is a wonderful skill parents can add to their toolbox, which can be utilised throughout their child’s life. Correct stroke techniques and timing are vitally important to achieve the many benefits of baby massage. Research has also shown that performing regular baby massage has helped caregivers feel more confident and less stressed, enhancing the special bond with their baby.
Touch is integral to our wellbeing and there is a comprehensive list of benefits for infant massage, based on extensive research.
Some of the many benefits to babies and children include:
Reduced crying time
Improved sleep, improved mood
Relief from wind, colic, reflux and constipation
Boosts immune system
Relief from sinus and chest congestion
Enhanced co-ordination
