[Knowledge: Baby] ECB8: BABY MASSAGE – Benefits for Baby

Your baby can only gain from the pleasures and sensations of a loving massage.

  1. Your baby loves being with you and the intimate contact of massage enhances this. He will recognize it as a clear sign of your love

  2. If he is unsettled, your baby will be calmed by the soothing strokes of your hands, which will make him feel secure and relieve anxiety

  3. Massage can often ease minor digestive upsets, such as wind, which may well be making your baby fretful

  4. Babies need touch. Research has shown that they would rather be stroked than fed… That’s interesting!
