Parents know the many benefits of touch for babies.  Soft massages help develop baby’s muscles and bone development.  Baby massages should still be practiced even during this toddler years when he is most active.

Here are some of the benefits of infant massage:

  • Strengthens the bond between parent and baby.
  • Helps your baby grow to be confident and least likely to develop psychological problems.
  • Relieves and prevent colic, diarrhea and constipation.
  • Prevents ear infections, colds, and cough.
  • Improves the immune system for stronger resistance.
  • Calms down baby and relieves tantrums.
  • Improves skin health.
  • Baby massages are not limited to pre-bedtime activities.  You can incorporate the sense of touch in play time with these simple suggestions:
  • Play with stuffed toys, modeling clays, and building blocks together.
  • Have your child help you in the kitchen by mixing cupcake batter or decorating them.  Make sure you guide his hands.
  • Sit close together while watching television.
  • Walk in the park together while holding hands instead of pushing him in a stroller.
  • Develop a 15-minute baby massage time after bath.
  • Do the Yoga Stretchycise moves!  These simple baby exercises help moms and babies bond together.
  • It also intensifies the sense of touch because babies lean to their moms for support and guidance in doing the simple stretches.  The constant skin-to-skin contact strengthens the bond between mother and child.  Of course, make sure your baby is wearing a diaper that allows him to move freely and stretch to his limits.  Yoga Stretchycise is fun when baby is wearing Pampers Active Baby that has elastic sides that move with baby, ensuring comfort with every movement.
