VideoJug: How To Massage Your Baby For Health And Happiness
Have you tried infant massage? Did it help your baby?
If you enjoyed this video, check out the video category for more!
I am concerned that anyone would post a massage video online much less one for your infant. I think that anyone watching this should be very cautious! Massage Therapists have had many hours of eduction and are certified by state and national standards. I do think that parents can give a child a massage-BUT I feel it would be best to consult a professional for a one on one session. I would hate for someone to hurt their child.(i.e. just because you watch an episode of E.R. does not make you a doctor) You can cause serious damage to a child or an adult without the proper eduction.

I really enjoyed your video on baby massage for health & happiness. Do you have any videos for a pregnancy belly massage, or, pregnancy massage in general. I’d really appreciate any video that you could share with me. Thanks so much. Jackie Charron
As an infant massage instructor I would like to say that there is nothing in this video that has a potential for harming your baby. All gentle, loving and intentional touch is beneficial. That being said my cautions are as follows: 1. Be sure that your oil/lotion is natural and edible. IE olive/coconut oil 2. As with the “I Love U” stroke, be sure to always massage in a clockwise direction over the belly, as is the direction of the intestines.
In addition, however, a one on one session with a certified infant massage instructor will offer more ideas, more confidence, more benefits and the knowledge of those benefits when it comes to infant massage. This video offers a good start, but is by no means all inclusive of what infant massage has to offer.
I wanted to make this comment, so that you can feel confident to use these techniques on your child, as they ARE beneficial. Also, so that those without the financial means, or otherwise, to attend a professional class, are still able to enjoy some benefits of infant massage.
