Infant massage

 

Infant Massage is a way to establish a mother / father baby touch relationship as necessary for our child as food. 

When we begin to massage our newborn children, it is wonderful to see their reaction and how little by little their acceptance is integrated.

• It can reduce the level of stress hormones which in turn improves the immune system. 

• Touch therapy can also help premature babies gain weight more quickly.

• In asthmatic children it improves their respiratory function.

• In diabetic children it facilitates the treatment.

• It helps those little ones who find it difficult to fall asleep more easily to sleep.

• It improves the respiratory system and helps in cases of mucus congestion.  

 

It is also the ideal time for the pope to integrate,

It is time to “parent”.  When I make home visits,

I meet many parents who tell me: “It is that with

Mom just picking it up calms down "...  Mom took it inside 9

months and now it's the part where daddy also enters

action. 

When our baby is born, usually the father figure

feel displaced or don't know how they can help.

Many studies have shown that parenting

towards the baby produce a secure bond and a warm relationship

between the couple. Dad, don't wait to be invited, choose the one

time to massage your baby, in this way it will grow

emotionally both baby and dad.

The oil and the soft touch of the potato hands are delicious

sensory that we can share with our baby while

we are introducing the world to him little by little. Is a way

wonderful to create that much-needed bond, to reach

meet our son and hang out together during

first weeks or months.

VIMALA McCLURE founder of the International Association

Infant Massage (IAIM) has taught us that contact

physical massage is not a whim but a human need

basic. The purpose of the International Massage Association

Childish,  is to promote nurturing touch and communication through

of training, education and research, so that parents,

caregivers and children are loved, valued and respected in

everyone.

The babies of our ancestors who were born in cultures more

primitive had the advantage that a single family, parents,

siblings, uncles and grandparents lived in the same house.

In this way there was more time to spend with the children.

Today our children live In a world  totally different, a technological

and busy world, and when working outside  from home we hardly

have time to betogether.

Children have to learn to manage stress in a way

constructive in order to survive and prosper. 

Massage helps babies and children to manage all the information of

input and respond in an appropriate and relaxed manner.

 

                                           The touch

                                           Years ago I remember there was an ad on television that                                                           It showed a boy with a very large sign that read "Gift Hugs".  

                                           I don't remember what he advertised, but I did even think “that                                                 well, I wish I found it one day. " It should be a must give us hugs                                                         more often. The sense of touch is the most important for the                                                             human primate, it helps us to perceive the risks to our health,                                                             both internal as external. Touch is a natural antidepressant. Along                                                     the our skin has infinite nerve endings and each                                                                      one of them is a "beautiful and specialized little machine" in                                                      extract information about the tactile world.

Children's group massages

When I do the infant massage workshops, it is extraordinary to see the evolution of babies. 

In the first session, if the parents have never massaged the baby, he is more restless, it is normal, he does not know what they are going to do, he does not expect it. There are a series of instructions to know when is the perfect time to practice massage. 

Parents learn not only the massage technique, but also different aspects of motherhood that are very important in order to understand the baby's signals. They also learn to manage their emotions.

Throughout the course we are seeing a significantly positive change in the baby and all the other sessions are worth seeing and experiencing.

Infant massage courses last from 60 to 90 minutes and consist of five sessions, one per week. It is important to attend all the sessions since not only does it practice, but you also learn theory and you can also take a series of material home with you  to be able to put it into practice and thus the baby gets to know the technique and becomes familiar with it. You also learn to adapt the Infant Massage in the different stages of growth.
