Special contact through baby massage
-
Many babies visibly enjoy being caressed and massaged. Not only the little one enjoys, but you as a masseur too. Massaging your baby gives you more confidence in yourself as a parent.
-
A number of studies have shown that massaged babies grow and develop faster than their less oily counterparts. Massage is said to help prevent colic and promote sleep. For children who need (or have had) a lot of medical care, baby massage helps to process those experiences.
Growing by touch
-
Big hands don't mean that someone is putting on an IV or that something bad is happening. A touch purely for relaxation. Many scientists say more research needs to be done to prove all these benefits, but many positive effects are beyond question. Young parents have often never cared for or even held a newborn baby. Baby massage helps them to get used to the little body. They see how the baby reacts to the touch and that the body is strong. It strengthens the self-confidence of insecure mothers and fathers. Many hospitals therefore also offer baby massage. It facilitates bonding between parents and children in the incubator ward.

Avoid overstimulation
-
Baby massage is not always a good idea. For example, an overtired baby needs more sleep than an activity, no matter how relaxed. At such a moment a massage can actually stimulate the overstimulation, which increases the crying. Of course, this overstimulation can also apply to the parents. As a father recalls: "The postpartum period was the best, but most tiring period of my life, full of sleepless nights. And then every week I voluntarily went to a room with not one, but eight crying babies! I don't know. it always goes like this, but for me and the baby it was anything but relaxed. "
Relieve mother
-
Many fathers have very positive experiences with baby massage. In this way they build up a very special bond with the little one. An additional advantage is that the mother is relieved for a while.
