Benefits
Benefits for Baby...
- BONDING - The unique relationship between a parent and baby is greatly enhanced by touch, this is a relationship that baby will base future relationships upon as she grows. Massage can promote secure attachment and trust and help the baby feel loved, secure and respected. It stimulates the baby's senses and teaches her love and empathy.
- STIMULATION OF SENSES - All baby's senses are stimulated during massage including the nervous system, vestibular system (co-ordination and balance) and the immune system is given a big boost which can help fight off infections. Massage can also help to improve circulation, digestion and lymph drainage while improving muscle tone and mind and body awareness.
- All babies have common complaints and massage can help with:
- COLIC - the colic routine taught can help release the air bubbles that cause baby's discomfort.
- CONSTIPATION - Massage techniques that follow baby's digestive tract can help to move any blockages
- TEETHING PAINS - the face massage routine can help relieve the pain caused by teething
