7 Top Reasons to Learn to Massage Your Baby


Massage for Babies

Have you considered the benefits from learning to massage your baby?  For a start, research has shown that massage reduces stress hormones and alleviates post natal depression.

Plus - Check Out 7 More Reasons to Learn Baby Massage Today & Make Your Life Easier and More Enjoyable!

#1 Time out from the daily routine
Give yourself and your baby a gift and spend twenty minutes doing something other than feeding, winding, settling to sleep and so on. Massage can be fitted into your routine easily and makes such a difference it is really worth learning a simple routine.

#2 Bonding
Massage allows the bond between parent and child to flourish and grow. The emotional ties are secured with regular positive touch and it is believed that babies that are massage in their early life grown to be confident and well balanced in later life. As you relax and tune into your baby you will reap the benefits for yourself as you breathe more slowly, your blood pressure drops and you become calm and peaceful.

#3 Stretch and Grow
Massage and gentle stretches improve joint mobility and flexibility and are a welcome change for the baby who spends so much time curled up in car seats and prams.

#4 Help for Colic, Wind and Digestive Pains
A massaged baby will suffer less from colic, constipation and wind and associated discomfort. Simple tips and techniques will improve these and make life much more bearable for mum and baby.

#5 Immune System Booster
Babies who receive regular massage have stronger immune systems and are more resistant to infection, leading to less coughs and colds and more robust health all round.

#6 Better Sleep Guaranteed
Surely a winner – massaged babies experience longer, deeper sleep for both daytime naps and evening sleep. They are more settled and you are able to soothe them easier using skills you have learnt. Massage can be incorporated into the night time routine for easy bedtimes.

#7 Skills for Life
Once you have learnt these skills in baby massage and baby reflexology they are yours to keep. As your child grows you will adapt and develop your routines but will find that as your baby grows into a toddler and a young child you will keep massage as part of your special time together for many years to come.

Cuggles

Something for your little one to cuddle into with a cute, embroidered sleepy face. Perfect for nap times and bed times as well as for when your child is not feeling 100%.

The name "cuggle" comes from our little one trying to say "cuddle".

Cuggles are made of a natural fibre - bamboo velour - which feels so soft your child will not be able to put it down.

Machine washable and tumble-driable.

Each cuggle has a slightly weighted head which allows the child to play with it creatively.

Price is only $15. Worth buying two or three to allow for when one needs to be washed.

Available in ivory, gold, green, purple, dark blue, light blue and red.


Visit Softbots Australia to see all the colours and to purchase.

We had a great day at the Casey Cloth Nappy Expo last Saturday. Casey Council is doing a great job in explaining the benefits of cloth nappies and the damage that the use of disposables does to our environment. They also provide a rebate scheme for residents who choose to use cloth instead of disposables. Well done Casey!

Our youngest product tester (Michael) was with us for the day and as you can see from the photo below, he was perfectly at ease with his surroundings.


The next place you can see us is Stringybark Suburban Sustainability Festival. This will be held on October 15th and 16th at:
Rowville Community Centre,
Fulham Road, Rowville
Melways 81 K1

We look forward to meeting you there!
