Did you know?

Preterm babies benefit from massage in unique ways!

Flexion and extension exercises help babies increase their calorie intake, while moderate pressure massage boosts vagal activity.

Vagal tone is activity of the vagus nerve and a fundamental component of the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system.

This increase in vagal activity enhances gastric motility, aiding the movement of food through their digestive system.

What is the best time to give your baby a massage?..

The best time to massage your baby is when they are in a quiet, alert state. That time may vary from day to day for your child. It is important to listen to the cues that your child is giving you and respect what they are trying to tell you. By doing this, your child will learn to trust you and the bond with your child will strengthen deeper.

Varying your pressure, speed or simply altering the duration of the massage will help to customize the treatment in order to best suit your child’s needs.

Listening to your baby's cues is an important part of Calming Moves Baby Massage Classes. Participants that have completed the Baby Massage Classes with Calming Moves said to feel more confident in picking up cues from their baby and adjusting the massage accordingly.

Did you know?..
Close body contact between infants and their caregivers has historically been the norm. Yet in Western societies, infants are in body contact with their caregivers about 18 % of the day compared to 79–99 % of the day in many non-Western societies (Hewlett & Lamb, 2002). Modern means of infant care that are particularly prevalent in Western societies, such as formula feeding, institutional medical practices, and baby gear that limits contact with caregivers, have reduced the physical closeness of infants and their caregivers. Although these practices and equipment are designed primarily to make life easier for parents, there is a cost, namely the reduction in infants’ physical contact with others, which can negatively affect infant development, caregiver behaviors, and the developing infant-caregiver relationship.
