Baby massage provides the opportunity for increased eye contact between a baby and their mother. The production of breast milk requite a hormone called prolactin. For this reason it is also known as a mothering hormone. To help a mother “fall in love” with their newborn the level of prolactin is increased. In case of abuse baby massage also helps produce positive results.

Developing Sensitivity

While massaging your baby you should remain alert so that you can notice what reactions your baby has to your touch and how much pressure you apply during the massage. Since babies cannot speak it is essential that you observe your baby minutely, they cannot tell you if the massage is too hard or not. While you are trying to imagine your baby’s reaction to your massage you are boosting your parenting skills.
