Baby Massage

The Benefits

• Baby massage can be a good thing for both parent and child because:
• It's a good bonding experience - a good way for you and your baby to get to know each other and to spend a bit of quality time together.
• Studies have suggested that physical contact is good for babies, improving their breathing, circulation, digestion and growth.
• It provides a good source of sensory and muscle stimulation, which is beneficial to all babies, but may be particularly good for babies with special needs, such as developmental disabilities and Down's syndrome.
• Baby massage is even claimed to combat postnatal depression in mothers, according to a BBC News Report on baby massage and post-natal depression.
• It relaxes both parent and child.
• It's fun for both of you.
