Massage and Bonding
Massage is a wonderful way to help strengthen your bond. This is the key to a child’s development, as many researchers and clinicians feel that a positive maternal child bond helps to form the basis for future relationships.
In addition to helping you and your baby bond, regular massage may:
- Soothe your baby and reduce his crying
- Aid digestion and help relieve colic, gas and constipation
- Increase daily weight gain
- Enhance your baby’s adjustment to nighttime sleep, and help him sleep more deeply
- Relieve nasal congestion and teething discomfort
- Help develop good muscle tone, coordination and suppleness
- Enhance body awareness
- Boost the immune system
- Improve skin texture
- Help calm and relax both you and your baby
- Boost your confidence in handling your baby
