  Many cultures have used massage as part of baby care for hundreds of years and research shows that it can have many benefits. Massage enables you to learn about and respond to your baby's body language. It is also a wonderful way to make your baby feel safe and secure by showing that he or she is loved.

There is no set way to massage your baby provided that you know how to do it safely, you and your baby will discover what's best for you both once shown.

Massage can be used as the baby grows into a pre-school child and beyond, a great way to learn about communication and body awareness. They still feel loved and secure whilst also being able to devote time to them when siblings arrive.
