Introduction to Baby Massage

Baby massage is an ancient art practiced in many cultures and passed down though generations of mothers. Recent research confirms what grandma already knew, babies grow better and act better with nurturing touch.

The practice of Baby Massage is a unique and wonderful way to deepen the bond you have with your child.  Providing your baby with regular massage provides countless physical and emotional benefits for both you and your baby. Massage will help relieve your gassy baby and improve his/her sleep.  Regular massage fosters emotional, physical, and mental well-being, calms anxieties, promotes better sleeping patterns and soothes common baby ailments.
