Infant Massage

Parents: I had a few of you ask me about infant massage, which I don't know too much about, but one of our pediatric physical therapists is a certified infant massage therapist. She gave me some information to share and her contact information in case any of you are interested in learning infant massage for you and your baby. She does individual and group lessons in your home!!

Here are some of the benefits of infant massage:

Massage can be useful for helping calm your baby. Massage can also help with relieving gas, colic and constipation. Massage can help your baby sleep better. Massage can be part of the process of building an attachment with your baby because it encourages eye to eye contact, skin to skin contact and the release of the nurturing hormone, Oxytocin. With parental responsiveness, babies can learn early communication during infant massage.

If any of you in the Boise area want to contact Sima about infant massage classes here's her info.
