[The Rattle] Infant Massage

Day 27: 31 Day Challenge

Infant Massage is a great way to help your baby relax and get ready for bedtime. It is also a great way to bond with your baby.

Infant Massage can help ease your baby’s tummy troubles and teething pains, boost his muscle development, calm him when he’s fussy, and soothe him to sleep. But the advantages don’t stop there: All that stroking and touching make it easier for you to bond with your newborn. [whattoexpect.com] Read more about the benefits and different techniques here.

[For the visual learner] Watch this short video on YouTube. I apologize up front for the cheesiness , but I like how it is short and to the point. Read cues from your baby and do as much or as little as they like, each baby prefers a little something different.

[NOTE: Minnesota Mama's: Amma Maternity is just one of many places that offer Infant Massage classes.]
