Learn to Massage Babies 
and Young Children

Helps with:

• Bonding - Dads too 
• Setting your child up for a lifetime of safe, respectful, meaningful interactions
• General immune health of baby
• Improved digestive health (if specific abdominal massage is performed)
• And more.

And it feels great for both receiver and giver! 

• Touch is the first sense to be developed by babies. Their world is full of sensing, feeling and touching, beginning in the womb.
• Research studies have shown that babies who are touched and stroked sleep better, are less fractious and suffer less from colic.
• Premature babies gain weight more quickly and tend to lose their anti-touch behaviours when they are massaged regularly (Field, et. Al 1986).
• Without loving touch, babies may not thrive and, in fact, may not survive.
