What is baby massage?                                            

Baby Massage is easy to learn, costs very little, does not take too much time and has short-term and long term effects.

At this special time parents have the opportunity to enhance development, health and well-being of their child.

Baby Massage is a touch therapy and is an essential element in the healthy development of early months of life.  Baby massage is a very giving therapy and during massage there is an exchange of energies between the parent and the baby.

Giving a baby a massage can in turn give the parent a feeling of relaxation. It can be a very rewarding and uplifting experience.

The best time I advise to start baby massage is from six weeks old following your baby’s six week check with your health visitor or doctor.

The younger your a baby is introduced to baby massage the better so that you and your baby can establish a routine that suits both of you.

I introduced baby massage when my daughter was only a few weeks old.

My daughter has her massage every night before her bath and I feel this has been one of the main reasons to why she slept through the night from an early age.

I have found the massage and reflexology techniques that I use on her hands and feet have helped eased her pain and distress when she has been teething and also found that it has been a benefit for the treatment and prevention of Colic. It is effective in relieving colic to restore calm and peace to both baby and parents alike as it relieves abdominal pain and muscle spasms and accelerates digestion and absorption of food.

There are certain baby massage and reflexolology techniques which can also help should a baby have constipation. 

Baby Massage is a natural drug free treatment providing both parent and baby with a rewarding experience based on touch.
