The loving touch of infant massage has many benefits for both parent and baby individually, as well as strengthening their bond. After your baby is born, consider infant massage to strengthen the bond between you and your baby.
Massage is known to contribute to the development of secure, self-confident children.
Research supports the fact that a loving, nurturing touch is necessary for the proper physical and psychological development of children. Always use an edible oil, as the baby's fingers will probably go into the mouth. Do not use mineral oils. Facing the baby, start massaging with your fingertips from left to right. You can use circular motions, or rainbow shape strokes.
