Baby Massage has many benefits, such as enhancing bonding, promoting better circulation, improving digestion, giving emotional security, improving muscular development and coordination. It can help encourage better sleep patterns and with problems such as colic, colds, teething, and constipation.
Many cultures start the practice of massage from birth, to strengthen the bond with their children, calm and help them sleep, relieve wind and colic and generally assist with healthy development. In India, for example, it is a traditional custom to give the baby a daily massage with oil, followed by yoga and finally a warm bath.

Each week you will learn one body part and review the strokes you've learned the week before. You will get handouts of the strokes for you to keep so you can practice the strokes at home.
