It’s no secret that newborn babies love their parent’s touch. To a baby, there’s nothing more comforting than snuggling with their mommy or daddy and getting a few tickles along the way.

But there’s another reason why babies love being touched, especially through a massage. Baby massage can help calm and relax them and relieve any colic or digestive discomfort. Just as you love getting a massage to decrease stress hormones, babies love receiving massages to relax their muscles.

There’s also research that suggests that infant massage is a wonderful way to bond with your baby. Through loving touch, you build a stronger connection with your child, which helps them grow strong and feel less anxious.

Helping parents communicate with their babies more effectively, Marie-Josee Berard of Baby Wellness Massage, Coral Springs offers infant massage and infant massage telehealth services. The multi-award-winning baby massage therapist not only performs massages for infants but also teaches you how to perform an infant massage on your own.

This is important to learn, Marie-Josee says. She explains that a baby’s first emotional bonds are built on physical contact. Their first few months of life serve as the foundation for how they perceive and manage emotional connections as adults.

The International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM) has stated that baby massage has multiple benefits for you and your baby, not least of which is the increased production of oxytocin, the love hormone. Oxytocin helps build trust between two people while also reducing feelings of pain. This may play a significant role if you are currently suffering from post-partum depression.

Marie-Josee teaches you how to gently massage your baby, especially if they are colicky. Regular massage may aid digestion and relieve colic, constipation, and wind. This, in turn, helps babies sleep more deeply and for longer. If you’re a first-time parent, she recommends booking an appointment with her to see how she does it so that you can follow her afterward.

Baby massage may also offer therapeutic benefits for infants with medical conditions, including jaundice, tongue tie, torticollis, Bell’s Palsy, and asthma. Marie-Josee tailors her massages to suit the baby’s unique needs and modifies these treatments as the baby grows.

You can also learn how to massage your baby online. Marie-Josee guides you through Zoom or WhatsApp during the entire process and answers any questions you may have. This is recommended if you can’t physically visit the clinic or are always on the go.

Marie-Josee likewise offers postpartum massages to help you recover faster from the physical stresses of childbirth.

A spokesperson for the group wrote, "Baby Wellness Massage is a service that promotes your little one's physical and emotional well-being through gentle, nurturing touch. During each session, Marie-Josee tailors the massage to your baby's needs, ensuring your little one receives the attention they deserve."
