Baby Care: the benefits of baby massage
The benefits of massage for the little ones
For very young children, even for newborns, massage proves to be a type of contact that is fundamental to their well-being and to the consolidation of their balance. Even for the little ones, like adults, the massage always has a relaxing and calming effect and accompanies children towards a more peaceful sleep and towards greater inner balance. In addition to being very pleasant and relaxing for the small child, the massage is able to promote the correct development of nerve cells and motor skills, as well as strongly consolidating the emotional bond with mom and dad. Getting your baby used to regular massage sessions is a really good idea: it will help him grow, giving him safety and protection that only skin contact can transmit.
