Baby Massage - History
There are historical accounts of massage being used in ancient civilizations as far back as 3,000 years ago.
The word 'massage' originates from the Arabic word meaning 'to stroke'. In India for hundreds of years the art of baby massage has been passed down through the generations from mother to daughter. Although it is very difficult to pin point exactly where the practice of baby massage originates from, it is now widely practiced around the world, and recognized by many as being just as vital as the milk we feed our babies.
When baby massage is practiced this ancient art enhances and promotes deep emotional bonds which develop in infancy with parents/carers. This is what lays a lifetime foundation of trust, dependability, faith and love between parent and child. Setting aside some time to incorporate baby massage as part of your baby's routine will help you build your parent/baby relationship in the early 'getting to know you' stage.
The power of touch is far more than just skin deep. A good touch arouses positive feelings and brings about a number of physical and physiological changes, such as better sleep, less colic, constipation, boosting baby immune system, also helping parent’s grandparents to become more confident in handling baby and recognizing their needs.
