Deprived of touch, babies would rather die...
and often they do..
-Frederic LeBoyer

For nine months a newborn is in the protected environment of their mother's womb. Birth removes him from this safe environment and delivers him into a strange new world of light, noise and sudden movements.

ENCOURAGES EMOTIONAL SECURITY

Touch lets babies know that they are loved and are safe. Touching, cuddling, hugging and stroking are the natural, nurturing way for parents to bond with their infants. The more a newborn is touched, the better his physical and emotional growth.

ENCOURAGES PHYSIOLOGICAL GROWTH

Massage encourages alertness, fosters neurological development and helps infants adapt to their environment.

PROMOTES A HEALTHY BABY

Massage boosts the immune system, helps muscles development and improves motor skills.

HELPS CREATE A CALM BABY

Masage promotes a calm disposition, relaxes overstimuled infants, and eases agitated babies into sleep.
