In many countries and cultures it’s a belief that a baby needs a massage daily. Mostly integrated with their bath every day. A ritual of relaxation, bonding and well being for babies and parents, simultaneously.
The benefits of a baby massage are many:
- It enhances their blood circulation and thus helps in their development not only physically but also mentally and socially.
- It’s very important for their malleability and growing up into a proper posture.
- It stimulates and enhances their memory and intelligence.
- It’s soothing, it reduces crying and fussiness.
- It helps them sleep more
peacefully. - It’s the perfect way to bond with your new born and a lovely way for you to express your love and care for your baby.
- It even boosts a baby’s ability to fight off germs.
- It alleviates common wail-inducers like constipation and colic.
- Massage has many added benefits for your baby, including improving weight gain, aiding digestion, improving circulation, and easing teething pain…
- Not only the baby, but you may find it relaxing, too!
- When you give your baby a massage, you’re actually stimulating their central nervous system. Hence, giving your infant regular massages is good for their emotional well-being too. Affectionate touch and rhythmic movement are among the most powerful forms of communication between babies and their parents, so they are great ways for you to bond.
- The soothing strokes of your hands stimulate the production of the feel-good hormone oxytocin in you, your baby and even your partner, if he’s watching. Oxytocin is the hormone that gives you that warm, loving feeling when you hold your baby close or breastfeed him/her.
