What Is Infant Massage?
Mothers have been massaging their infants for centuries and using it as part of their daily childcare activities. Infant massage is a great tool for managing stress for both mother and baby.
The massage technique for infants is very different from massage for adults. It is not as much manipulative as it is communicative.
Research shows that Infant Massage is beneficial for nurturing babies' psychological, physiological, and developmental growth. This can also foster healthy self-esteem and increase bonding between parents and their babies.
The ideal time to begin massage is when your infant is between 1 and 7 months old. Colicky, fussy, premature, and disabled infants can benefit from specific techniques.
