Baby massage is a gentle practice that involves stroking and kneading your baby’s body, offering a range of benefits. It helps promote relaxation and better sleep, aids in digestion by relieving gas and constipation, and strengthens the bond between you and your baby.
➜ It supports physical development by improving circulation and muscle tone, and may boost your baby’s immune system.
➜ To give a soothing massage, choose a calm time, use gentle strokes with baby-safe oil or lotion if desired, and watch for signs of discomfort or overstimulation.
➜ Integrating massage into routines like bath time or before bed can be a nurturing way to connect with your baby.
