Massaging your baby is a very special way to let your baby know that they are safe, loved and understood. Your Baby's First Massage lays the foundation for a lifetime of self-esteem for your baby and good communication skills between to two of you.
Benefits of Newborn Massage
- Feedings are digested better which may help the baby gain weight easier and grow at a faster pace.
- The calming effect of massage leads to deeper, more restful sleep.
- The immune system is stimulated through the skin by at least five minutes of daily rubbing.
With your physician’s approval, St. Elizabeth Holistic Health Center can provide a licensed massage therapist certified in newborn massage at your bedside after your baby arrives.
