Infant Massage

This technique deals with teaching parents how to massage their infants.  Hospital neonatal care units utilize this specialized form of touch and infant massage to manage the critical weight gain of premature infants.  It is an important technique to create a strong bond between a parents and her/his child, and to promote growth from the intimate communication, benefits, and pleasures of touch. See the Touch Institute studies.
