Infant Massage NYC

Moms and dads love to caress and touch their babies skin.  This natural instinct has been shown to be essential for adequate organic and psychological development. Parents often use products like lotions and creams, during or after bathtime, to massage and help keep baby's skin soft; but are her favorite cleansers and lotions safe?

Many parents wonder how old a baby has to be before starting massage.  The great news is that no baby is too young to be massaged!  Even newborn infants can enjoy the benefits of loving touch. The sense of touch has been detected in human embryos less than eight weeks old.  Though the baby is less than an inch long and has no eyes or ears, her skin sensitivity is already highly developed. Nature begins the baby's massage long before she's born.  First she rocks and floats, then slowly her world surrounds her more and more closely.
