Babymassage - the art of touch

„Baby massage is not a trend. Rather, it is an ancient art that creates a deep relationship between you and your child.“

(Quote by Vimala Schneider Mc Clure from Baby Massage)

That's why a massage is so good for your baby!

With a baby massage you can spoil your child wonderfully. In addition, you strengthen his or her health, physical and emotional development and your bond.

Why should I massage my baby?

Baby massage has a calming effect and gives a feeling of security. Especially children who have difficulties falling asleep can benefit from a massage. The gentle rhythmic movements will also help you to find peace.
Baby massage strengthens the parent-child bond. A two-way communication develops through the massage. The baby notices that its signals are perceived and answered. It learns the first forms of its self-efficacy.
Baby massage can help with tummy aches, colic and regulation problems. Specific massage strokes stimulate digestion, have a deflating effect, relax the belly and thus alleviate the discomfort. The stress-reducing effect of massage can help your baby to calm down.

When and how often should I massage my baby?

Baby massage is about spending a relaxing time together. Therefore, you should not be stressed by any schedule.
Take a break of 45-60 minutes after breastfeeding or a meal before you start the massage. Starting immediately after drinking or eating could lead to vomiting.
You can massage your baby as often as you like. You can establish baby massage as a daily ritual. Either as a morning routine to start the day together and relaxed or as an evening routine to end the day together and relaxed.
