Communication and bonding
Infant massage is an instinctive and natural method to strengthen the bond between parent and child. The strokes and gestures, targeted and precise, convey love, care, and protection to the baby. The baby relaxes, smiles, and trusts peacefully. The parent, gratified by seeing the effects of their touch, experiences the joy of being a source of happiness and a reference point.
Sensory and motor development
Massage stimulates the newborn’s nervous system, promoting sensory and motor development. This practice helps babies become aware of their bodies and their surroundings.
Relaxation and well-being
Sessions take place in a relaxed environment where all attention is focused on the baby. During the massage, the parent learns to relax both the baby and themselves. Learning these techniques is important in order to replicate them at home to reduce daily stress, incorporating them into the daily routine. They are especially effective for calming crying and improving sleep.
Parental involvement
Parents who take part in infant massage courses are pleasantly surprised by the deep understanding that develops with their newborn. Seeing their baby happy and relaxed increases self-esteem and the perception of their parental abilities. All this translates into greater involvement and a better ability to understand the child in daily life.
