INFANT MASSAGE

From their first breath, babies enjoy being cuddled, held and close to their loved ones. Gentle touch not only makes your baby feel love and connection but also safe, secure and cared for. 

IAIM infant massage strengthens the loving bond between parent and baby and helps babies to relax, sleep better,  calm themselves more readily, and thrive on many measures of infant health and development. 

Through this IAIM infant massage series, you will learn a full body routine including a colic support routine.  I will show you the proper set-up, stroke technique, and pressure.  We will also practice reading baby’s cues, and discuss tips and tricks for including massage at different ages and stages.

This class is for families with babies under 12 months.
Infant Massage Includes:

  • Bonding- Sweet moments of connection in massage stimulate the release of ‘oxytocin’ (our love hormone). This is wonderful for baby’s wellbeing but also for momma's.  These moments of happy connection are especially shown to benefit mothers experiencing postpartum mood challenges. 

  • Stimulation- consistent massage can encourage the development of muscle tone as well as activation of both ‘right’ and ‘left’ brain functions. 

  • Relaxation- When added to bedtime routine babies sleep deeper because massage calms, soothes and decreases stress hormones in their body 

  • Regulation- doing the full body routine helps babies regulate breathing, circulation and digestion
