Infant Massage Tips | Singapore
Baby massage is when a parent or primary carer lovingly strokes or holds their baby. Using a high quality light fragranced pure sweet almond oil, soothing holds and rhythmic strokes are given on each area of baby's body, following a sequence that has been developed over many years. The massage offers a wonderful experience and a special time to communicate both verbally and non-verbally with babies, so that they feel loved, valued and respected.
