• It enhances their positive feelings about their bodies
• Massage helps with relief of colic and digestive problems
• It may help relieve discomforts of teething, congestion and emotional stress

Massage is an excellent way of bonding and can be done by either parent.

A good time to massage your baby is after bathing or before bedtime. The room should be warm (about 25ºC approx).
