Baby massage can create an embodied connection between you and your baby. It includes the most critical elements of bonding: eye to eye contact, skin to skin contact, soothing sounds, smiling, cuddling, smelling and hearing each other.

​

The benefits* of baby massage are endless, including for example stimulation of baby's immune system, reduced cortisol and increased oxytocin production in both baby and parent, it helps remove gas and stimulates digestion, increases parent's confidence, promotes relaxation, can improve sleep, and more.
