Benefits and What to expect during Infant Massage
Nurturing touch is essential for early development and comfort. Discover how intentional bodywork calms your infant's nervous system, promotes restful sleep, and deepens your bond.
Soothe digestion and Muscle Tone
Gentle clockwise abdominal strokes stimulate the digestive tract, encouraging the natural release of trapped gas and easing the discomfort associated with colic and constipation.
Frequent massage as an infant also helps the growth of their muscles, by increasing blood flow, an assisting baby with stretches. You notice your baby is more flexible, has better muscle tone and motor coordination.
Promote deeper, restful sleep
Regular massage triggers the release of oxytocin and serotonin while reducing stress hormones, helping to regulate your baby's sleep-wake cycles and soothe growing bodies. Massage can also help bond parents to their children, allowing their nervous system to rest easier, making bedtime more smooth.
What to expect
Infant massage is performed on the floor or on the bed, depending on your preference. You will provide the oil and the massage session lasts 45 minutes. During the massage session, we massage the entire body, the diaper will be removed during the massage, diaper free time is essential in infant massage because diapers restrict the movements of the hips and legs. Because baby is going to be deep free, you are asked to provide some sort of lining to prevent your surface from becoming dirty.
What to expect
Optional: After the massage baby can be provided a bath, this is not only to help with hygiene, but is also a source of sensory stimulation, which is an important activity for infants. If you choose to add this on to your infant massage, you'll be asked to provide baby soap, a bathing area, and a towel. After the bath the massage therapist can lotion and dress your baby. This helps get your baby comfortable with the massage therapist and save the family sometime.
