WHAT IS INFANT MASSAGE?

Infant massage is a bonding activity between parents and their children. In the most basic terms, infant or pediatric massage refers to the process of stroking the muscles of an infant using a variety of specialized massage techniques. Vocalization, eye-to-eye contact, and other positive behavioral reinforcements are also important components of the massage.

Expectant parents who take infant massage instruction in advance are ready to begin this wonderful loving touch right from the start. This ancient parenting practice has been modernized and is in active-use today, supported by evidence-based research.
