Infant Massage
"Your baby's skin is the largest organ...
Touching your baby, whether to feed, bathe, and change them or to cuddle, massage and play with them, not only helps them grow but may also release endorphins, which make them happy, reduces pain, and heightens their other senses. According to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, infant massage may help strengthen your baby's immune system, improve their digestive systems, increase muscle tone and allow them to sleep more."
