Why is it important to massage your baby? PDF Print E-mail

Giving a message to a baby is one of life's happy moments, so easy to share and so gratifying. What a joy it is to transmit so many benefits to a baby and to see them appreciate these moments of connection with their parent.

Massaging a baby is to use the sense of touch to establish a positive ans emotional relationship with one's child. Via the massage, your baby will receive pleasure whilst entering into a state of relaxation which will, for example, be beneficial for their stress and sleep. Touching and rubbing your baby's skin will also help stimulate good health throughout their body.

The following video is a great example


Massage can be practised from birth and is beneficial at every age. With very young babies, less than two months old, it's better to just massage hands and feet. Oils of almond, coconut and tumeric are excellent bases to which one can add essential oils of lavender or mandarine which are appreciated by babies. A word of caution though, many essential oils are not suitable for use with very young children. Consult your doctor if in doubt.
 
Many mid-wives organise sessions to introduce baby massages and the correct combinations of massage oils and essential oils. Contact yours today to find out if there's a session happening near you!
 
Happy relaxation!
