Tip #1. Adjusting to life on a new planet warrants a massage

Research says, regularly massaging your baby helps promote her physical and emotional health. The benefits of infant massage are hard to overstate. Just as massage provides a relaxing sensation for many adults, it also helps foster a sense of contentment and well-being in babies. It even helps to promote better and longer sleep patterns, reduce the effects of stress on your baby, and enhance overall health. Above all, however, massage is a wonderful tool to help strengthen the attachment between mother and child. This is key to a child's development, as many researchers and clinicians feel that a positive maternal child bond helps to form the basis for future relationships.
