How is infant massage different?
Infant massage is taught to parents by a therapist who is certified in infant massage techniques. The class is typically taught when the baby is 6 weeks to 3 months of age, although it is never too late to learn these valuable techniques. In the case of infant massage the therapist uses a doll for demonstrating and the parents give massage to their baby while receiving guidance when needed. Infant massage offers parents a way to bond with and nurture their baby, as well as give them tools to help relieve some common baby upsets such as constipation and congestion.
