What are the benefits of baby massage?
Baby massage may be very simple, but it has enormous benefits for both the baby and the parents. It can be used as part of the treatment for several conditions and it has physiological as well as psychological benefits. It can be efficiently used against:
- Digestive disorders
- Colic and constipation
- Trapped wind
- Sleeping problems
It can also be efficient for the following:
- Improving blood circulation
- Eliminating toxins from the lymphatic system
- Stimulating growth
- Easing breathing
- Stimulating neuro-motor sensations
Stimulating the baby’s neuro-motor sensations will help them discover tactile sensations, which in turn will help them develop their movement faster and with more coordination. This stimulation can be particularly beneficial for babies that experience issues with neuro-motor development.
Giving a massage to your baby also has great psychological benefits, as it builds a strong connection between the parent and the baby. The contact of the mother’s or father’s hand on the baby’s skin makes him/her feel loved and relaxed. It increases the bonding between baby and parent and makes both of them happier. Moreover, studies have shown that massaging your baby can help alleviate the symptoms of post natal depression in new mothers.
