You may wonder why massaging your infant is so important. After all, when we adults hear the word "massage" we think of it as a luxurious experience - something you might do to pamper yourself at a Day Spa. Or we think of massage as a necessity - something you might do if you had an injury or if you over exerted your muscles. We think of massage as something that relaxes us and brings an inner peace to our body, our mind and our spirit. For a baby, massage is all that and more. It is a natural extension of his experience in the womb. Think about the fact that a baby was massaged and caressed in its mother's tummy for nine months, and now finds himself in the big, wide world! In the womb, the baby was in a comfort and security zone that was so familiar. Now that baby is outside his first home of Mom's womb, and his security and comfort needs have to be addressed in another way. Massage reminds the baby about the value of being close to Mom. The sense of touch is one of a baby's most developed senses. To a baby touch is talk. It is a way that you can communicate your love to your baby in a way it understands. For a baby and for her parent, massage is a quiet time to reconnect. It is a time for bonding. It is familiar. It is relaxing and soothing. It is a routine that your baby and you can count on. Infant massage is a profound and pure communication of love.
Available in both VHS and DVD format.
