Infant massage helps strengthen your baby’s immune system!

Through gentle, nurturing touch, massage stimulates the nervous system, which in turn supports the development of a strong immune response. It boosts circulation, encourages lymphatic flow, and helps reduce stress hormones—giving your little one a natural defence boost.

Plus, that special bonding time with you has emotional and physical benefits that last a lifetime.

Not all touch is the same.

Research has identified a special type of nerve fibre in the skin that responds to gentle, soothing touch — the kind that’s slow, warm, and nurturing. When activated, these fibres send calming messages to the brain, supporting emotional regulation, bonding, and even pain relief.

This is one of the reasons why infant massage is so powerful. It’s not just about comfort — it’s about stimulating the body’s natural systems for connection and calm.

Infant Massage Information Service (IMIS) Certified Instructors and Paediatric Massage Consultants are trained to teach parents how to use this science in everyday care — helping babies feel safe, connected, and understood from the very beginning.

Relaxation

Baby massage helps promote deep relaxation by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, which lowers stress levels and encourages better sleep. It also supports muscle development and improves circulation, leading to overall comfort and calm.

Did you know that even a brief daily massage can strengthen your baby’s immune system?

Research from the Official Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics reveals that regular baby massage enhances the 'cell-killing' capacity of white blood cells (NK cells).

Why is this crucial? Because it empowers your baby to better fend off viral infections and potential tumors! Picture it as providing your little one with their own well-equipped 'armed forces' ready to combat illnesses.

Insufficient cytotoxicity in white blood cells can leave babies more vulnerable to colds, flu, and other serious illnesses. But incorporating a daily massage routine can significantly bolster their immune response!
