Infant Massage Class

We started our infant massage class tonight.. We were pleasantly surprised to know that Alison is in our class! We learned the basics of infant massage and specific techniques for the legs and tummy. Next week we will learn about arms, back, neck, and head. There are many researched benefits to using infant massage. I think the bond it reinforces between the baby and the parents is key, but it has also shown to relax the baby, increase ability to sleep, and reduce colic. We are looking forward to learning more next week!
