Why spend time learning Infant Massage with your little one? Massage is a form of self-regulation. This is a relaxing time for you and your infant will learn early self-regulation skills through body & brain stimuli, have better digestion, better sleep and a host of other positive benefits. It’s been studied that school-aged kiddos that received soothing infant massage, as well as other self-regulation techniques as they age, are more calm and less prone to anxiety and tension than their classmates who did not receive early supports
