BABY/INFANT MASSAGE
What is Infant Massage?
Mother's have been massaging their babies for thousands of years, yet in the West it is only over the last 10-15 years that this ancient practice is becoming a regular part of a routine.
While there is little research into the benefits of massage to adults, the amount of research into infant massage is rapidly growing. The Touch Institute in Miami is a widely respected for the quality of its research relating to Infant Massage.
The research clearly shows that regular massage can affect the physiological and psychological development of a new born. This is especially relevant in premature babies, where the effects of lack of physical contact in the early days and weeks due to being in Special Care can be countered by a daily massage.

Both baby and parent benefit from the natural process of touch. Infant Massage offers an opportunity to parents to increase the bond between themselves and their new born baby.
