BABY MASSAGE

Its purpose is to promote communication through healthy touch and a way for the baby to develop its own potential in a caring and loving atmosphere.

Baby massage is recommended for both parents or any caretaker after the baby’s birth.

For parents and caretakers:

  • It helps you develop your intuition, capacity and self-confidence, creating a deeper bonding between you and the baby
  • You will learn simple massage techniques; stretching and passive movements to promote physical and psychological development
  • It is a good opportunity to share about your experience as new parent

For baby (between 10 days and 9 months old)
