Infant Massage

Child Guidance Clinicians are trained to teach Infant Massage. Call to schedule a parent group class or an individual class and start experiencing the beautiful benefits of this centuries-old and worldwide practice.

There are so many benefits to this practice, including:

• Infant-caregiver attachment or "bonding"
• Promoting relaxation
• Helping baby feel loved
• Promoting better sleep
• Boosting baby's immune system
• Improving skin condition and encouraging brain development
• Building parents' and baby's self-esteem

Parents will learn to understand and respond to their baby's cues while also learning techniques to comfort, calm, and soothe their babies. Caregivers who have participated in Infant Massage report feeling more comfortable and confident in their ability to care for their baby.

Contact your local Child Guidance program to find an infant massage class near you.
