Last week my Community Partner for the month, Camille, shared why infant massage is beneficial. This week she’s talking about the best time to massage your baby. The details in the graphic above were created by her and give helpful tips for when to use massage and when not to use it. Infant massage can stimulate or calm depending on the technique used. It's also a great tool to integrate into less enjoyable activities for babies and keep everyone calmer. That being said, there are some times when massage is contraindicated (should not be used).

If you would like to get more information about techniques and timing please reach out to Camille @HelpingHandsMt for help!
