Hydrotherapy has many health benefits for all babies. The movement through water can neutralize the effects of gravity allowing your baby to move freely which has a positive effect on the digestive and circulatory systems, relieving gas and/or constipation, reducing the meconium levels and can reduce the risk of jaundice 3 or 4 days after birth.


Using the resistance of water can also increase muscular and skeletal strength providing a complete body workout strengthening your baby’s heart and lungs. Water pressure on the chest can increase the lung’s capacity. Together with the temperature of the water and the water itself, hydrotherapy can relieve pain, stress and discomfort while at the same time promote relaxation and comfort for your baby.


Massage Therapy studies have shown that an infant’s crying and fussiness, constipation, colic and so many other ailments can be greatly reduced by routinely massaging an infant. Massage will reduce stress hormones and promote the happy hormones therefore boosting baby’s mood and yours as well!


Along with the multiple health benefits of massage therapy, being hands on, maintaining eye contact and the intimate act of the massage itself will strengthen the bonding process with your baby and deepen the connection you already have. Bonding with your baby doesn’t just happen in the short time after he/she is born. It is a continuous process that carries on through every stage of your baby’s life.
