It would be convenient & easy for us to call a massage therapist and set up an appointment for our baby to feel all the benefits of massage. We love massages ourselves and we love our babies so why not right?
We're going to dig deeper than the obvious. Let me tell you more about baby massage.
There are so many benefits to massaging your baby, however, most of the significant benefits come from consistent massage and the intimate experience with the parent/caregiver.
Bond
One-on-one time
Oxytocin is released (love hormone)
Fathers ALSO produce this hormone
Secure attachment
Relaxation

Natural rewarding way to relieve stress from baby & parent
Decreases level of cortisol (stress hormone) in our bodies
Communication

When parents have attentive responses to needs,
children will be healthier and more secure in adulthood.
