This week we are focusing on a simple full body massage for your infant. based on ancient, timeless Ayurveda massage techniques, accompanied by specific baby-movement exercises and playful songs that are fun for you and your baby. This wonderful combination helps to develop your infant’s brain and nervous system, improve visual acuity and stimulate the senses.
Benefits of massage are:
help your child sleep better
soothe and calm baby during teething
enhance baby’s digestion and elimination, and relieve symptoms of colic
prepare your child for rolling, turning and crawling
help avoid torticollis (when an infant’s head turns mostly to one side) and plagiocephaly (flathead)
foster more nurturing tummy time between you and your baby
Have a blanket, or soft towel or two, for your baby to keep warm and comfortable during the massage and your favorite baby oil.
If we have time we will do a few yoga poses for you that address neck and shoulders, abs, low back and hips.
