Benefits of Baby massage

This small exert about Baby massage has been taken from the Baby Massage - The calming power of touch. I used baby massage when my daughter was little to calm her after bath and before bed.
"Baby massage is an integral part of babies development. Often it helps baby settle crying, sleeping, feeding and behaviour issues. Infants need plenty of positive touch to feel secure.
Some benefits of baby massage for your baby:
  • Security
  • General well being
  • Physical growth
  • Social Skills

Benefits for parents:

  • Relaxation
  • Developing sensitivity
  • Confidence building
  • Parent-child relationship

All you need is some baby oil or lotion, a warm room, a quiet and calm atmosphere and some time to bond with your child.

Let us know your baby massage techniques.
