Baby massage is a gentle, nurturing touch therapy created especially for infants—from newborn to roughly 12 months old. Using soft, rhythmic strokes and light pressure, parents or trained therapists massage a baby’s legs, arms, back, tummy, and sometimes the face and scalp. Sessions are brief, soothing, and always led by the baby’s cues—stopping or adjusting whenever the infant signals discomfort. Baby massage encourages relaxation, eases common discomforts like gas or colic, supports healthy sleep, and strengthens parent‑infant bonding through positive, reassuring touch.
Key Benefits for Babies
✅ Calms & Soothes – Activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing fussiness and crying.
✅ Better Sleep – Regular evening massage routines help babies fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
✅ Digestive Relief – Gentle tummy strokes can ease gas, constipation, and colic discomfort.
✅ Supports Growth & Development – Light pressure stimulates circulation, aiding muscle tone and sensory awareness.
✅ Strengthens Bonding – Skin‑to‑skin contact boosts oxytocin in both caregiver and baby, fostering security and attachment.
