25.01.2022 Welcome to Tracey's Infant Massage Facebook page. I'm excited to show you the benefits of infant massage (help with reflux, colic, sleeping and relaxation). My daughter Milla loves this quality bonding time with me. If you'd like to learn more about massage, I can teach you all the techniques in 4 sessions.

22.01.2022 Western civilisation has only recently discovered the gentle art of baby massage, something that other cultures have been practicing for thousands of years. Touch is so powerful that it has crept into our language. We use phrases like "to get the feel of...", "to get in touch...", "to be able to handle..." WHEN TO MASSAGE Each family needs to find the time that suits them best. It is best to wait 20 minutes or so after a feed but not too close to sleep time.... Some families massage after bath time when the baby is already undressed, as many young babies dislike being dressed and undressed. Some babies respond better in the evening. It is not a good idea to try to massage a baby who is upset.
