As stated in Benefits of Infant Massage Part 1, there are many benefits to infant massage. This post will be touching much more strongly on the benefit to the parent of caregiver who is performing the massage.

Benefits of Infant Massage:

Giving your baby a massage can drastically improve communication between you and your infant.  Massaging your baby can increase your ability to read what is going on with his or her body.  You will be able to more quickly understand what their facial expressions  and different their cries mean simply by giving you baby consistent massages.

You get more sleep, why do you get more sleep….because your baby gets more sleep.  The statement, “If Mom ain’t happy….nobody is happy” is only a half truth.  The real truth is if baby ain’t happy…NOBODY is happy.  Giving your baby a massage can mend this situations. You and your baby relax during and after massage time which helps everyone involved  be more restful at bedtime.

You will boost your self-confidence as a parent/caregiver as you feel the connection grow stronger with your baby. Bringing your baby joy and relaxation through massage only affirms what everyone else already knows, and that is that you are a good parent/caregiver and your baby is lucky to have you.

The bonding element of massage is so important, it warrants revisiting again.  Taking time out of your busy day to massage your baby can create a lasting bond of trust and tenderness.


The benefits I have mentioned here and in the other post are just a portion of what can be felt and achieved through infant massage. Take the time to learn how massage your baby. The knowledge and practice will pay you back in ways you can’t even imagine.
