OVERVIEW
What is baby massage?
Baby massage, or infant massage, is a wonderful way to bond with your baby and promote their health and wellbeing. Using gentle strokes and specific techniques, baby massage can provide numerous benefits, including improved digestion, better sleep, and reduced stress.
As a caregiver, you can learn how to massage your baby using a series of strokes that combine Indian and Swedish massage techniques, reflexology, and gentle yoga-based exercises.

BENEFITS
The many benefits of baby massage
Baby massage is a wonderful way to promote your little one's health and well-being while also fostering a deep sense of connection and trust between you and your baby.
By incorporating baby massage into your daily routine, you can help your baby sleep better, improve their digestion, boost their immune system, and reduce their fussiness and stress.
Additionally, baby massage can promote cognitive and emotional development by stimulating neural connections and promoting a sense of calm and relaxation. Touch is one of the most significant and nurturing early experiences your baby will have, and research has shown that nurturing touch has long-term benefits that can impact many aspects of our lives.
