[Baby massage]

A baby massage that deepens the bond between parent and child is a massage that enriches the baby's mind and body. It is a massage method that you want to remember and use.

A baby massage that enriches the baby's mind and body by touching it with a soft mother's hand. It seems to be a relatively new thing, but even before the current baby massage was introduced in Japan, it was performed at each home as "pediatric massage" in the Edo period. The advantage of baby massage is that you can communicate not only with words but also with your mind and senses by directly touching your baby's body. In the first place, "skinship" makes people feel at ease, makes them deeply remember the people they touched and the time they touched them, and fosters a sense of security and trust. By touching it comfortably, you can increase the relaxation effect not only for the baby but also for the mother. Recently, it has been found that baby massage has a deep relationship with the development of the cranial nerves. You can do it from a baby just after birth, but don't use force and do it slowly like stroking. From about 3 months, the muscles will also develop, so let's do it while applying moderate pressure.
