The Art of Infant Massage
I strongly encourage the families I spend time with as a Naturopathic Postpartum Doula to embrace infant massage.
The benefits are numerous for parents and baby!
Infant massage is of tremendous relaxation benefit. If baby is having difficulty sleeping, a massage before bedtime, perhaps with an organic lavender lotion, will relax baby beyond measure. I have often experienced that baby sleeps more peacefully and for much longer periods of time after being massaged before their nighttime sleep.
Spending even just a few minutes focused on the baby and massage also intensifies the bonding experience between parent and baby. Babies are innately connected to the birthing family and skin to skin interaction is the most intimate form of connection.
I suggest this book to all parents who are interested in infant massage.
