Everyone needs physical attention, our children especially. Infant massage provides an opportunity to bond with your child from the earliest age.
Infant massage affects all areas of a child's overall health and well-being. Here are just a few of the benefits:
- Bonding – massage helps build a bond between parent and child.
- Security – massage helps secure a relationship between parent and child.
- Emotional – a baby who receives massage leads to a more confident, well-balanced and confident adult in later life who will be less inclined to experience emotional and psychological difficulties.
- Skin – as with any massage, the texture and condition of the skin improves, leaving baby with a healthy looking skin; it also improves blood circulation and helps remove waste products from the body's systems.
- Digestive - a massaged baby will suffer from less colic, constipation and diarrhea and will feed better.
- Respiratory – baby massage will lessen coughs, colds and infections of the ear and nasal passages.
- Nervous System – irritability and tantrums are reduced with massage; a calm baby will lead to a calm parent!
- Immune System – massaged babies have stronger immune systems resisting infections and other health problems.
- Joints and Muscles – baby massage leads to more flexible joints and muscles and greater co-ordination of muscular movement.
