The Benefits of Baby Massage
The Sunday Times examines the growing trend of parents giving their babies infant massage.
"As well as encouraging bonding between infant and parent, massage relaxes the child and has been medically proven to improve health. Regular sessions promote better sleep patterns and the gentle movements boost immune systems and aid circulation, digestion, flexibility and skin condition. Clinical results published this month in Community Practitioner, a British journal used by NHS health visitors, also showed that daily massage encouraged healthy weight gain and increased activity in babies, as well as reducing crying and improving mother-infant interaction."
