Testimonials: Parent to Parent
When you ask parents why they massage their infants here's what they talk about:
Sleep. Babies who are massaged sleep better, and are calmer and more alert when awake.
My baby started sleeping through the night after the first night of infant massage class. He has been sleeping 7 to 8 hours a night ever since.

Physical Comfort. Massage stimulates digestion and elimination. It can also reduce the discomfort of coughing and colds, and help calm fussy babies.
My baby had been colicky. Massage has definitely helped with her gas.

Relaxation. Both normal discomforts and your baby's need to constantly respond to new experiences can lead to muscle tension and unease. Massage can help your baby let go of tension and relax.
Since I've been doing the massage, my baby has been letting her arms uncoil more. She's letting me in, not holding herself so tight.
