Baby Massage enhances baby-parent bonding through touch, relaxation and sensory stimulation through easy massage techniques. Baby learns to enjoy the comfort and security of loving and being loved and comforted. Benefits of baby massage:

• Parent/Baby Bonding
• Baby acquires knowledge about her body
• Parent learns about baby's body and understands his needs
• Boosts immune system, encourages blood circulation and digestion
• Promotes better sleep for baby (and mother!)
• Encourages weight gain
• Encourages nervous system development

Both parents can learn to massage. Massage is a quality experience for parents and infants, from which both benefit immensely. Fathers, as well as mothers, can touch gently and lovingly and can help baby meet her physical and emotional needs.

It's just as important to massage toddlers; if they were used to baby massage they will associate the touch of massage with love. From the age of 2, massage can be a wonderful way of applying natural essential oils as healing remedies. Below 2 yrs old, use only natural and organic vegetable oils.

Below 2 yrs old, use only natural and organic vegetable oils. Commercially produced mineral oils dry the skin and clog the pores. What we put on our skin is absorbed into the body and circulates throughout, carried by lymph which cleanses the body of toxins and carries away waste. A man-made product will rob the body of vital nutrients, being non organic and petroleum based.
