Infant Massage
INFANT MASSAGE is relatively new to the Western world, but it is quite a unique therapy. Based on the knowlege and teachings of two massage therapists, Infant massage helps to promote the parent-infant bonding process into loving and positive relationships. Infant massage further helps improve immune systems, stimulate relaxation, promotes better sleeping patterns, decrease stress responses during painful health procedures like immunizations.
Infant massage can also help to reduce colic, congestion and teething.
Infant massage is mutually beneficial. It helps to bridge bonding experiences for parents: Infant massage enables parents to recognize and respond correctly to infant's body language, promotes better patient-infant communication, and can decrease parent stress during separation times.
In general, infant massage is a type of massage that flows from the head to the toes of baby. Using soft, gentle touches, the infant massage starts on the head, then the face, shoulders, arms, chest, stomach and then the legs. Infant massage is practiced while parent makes deep eye connections to baby, and even vocalizes with the baby. Overall, infant massage touches are basically soft and nonmechanical.
