Why Learn Baby Massage?
Baby massage is a wonderful, soothing therapy that calms your baby, creates bonding time and promotes healthy development.
Being able to calm and soothe your baby in times of distress or discomfort is a valuable skill. Knowing how to massage them can help them through difficult times such as colic and teething pain.
Even if they are not feeling pain, massage releases a combination of hormones that help your baby relax and to sleep more easily. This, probably not surprisingly, is one of the main reasons parents come to classes!
​
A loving touch is vital to babies and this is something that dads can do too. Learning how your baby is communicating with you increases the bond between you. If you are experiencing postnatal depression, this is often a very helpful way of dealing with it.
Massage also assists with your baby's development. Research has shown that premature babies gain more weight when massaged every day.
​
And, lots of babies have problems with wind and constipation. It's not surprising as their digestive systems are still developing. Most parents who have tried massage will tell you how effective it is in relieving their baby's discomfort.
​​Massaged babies feel more confident in their surroundings and in turn learn more easily. Motor skills are improved and some studies show that even their intelligence increases.
​
If you don't already know me, my name is Esther and I am mother to three boys. All three were massaged as they were growing up and I'm convinced that it played an important part in developing their confidence to become the successful young adults they are today.
