Parents, Dads included, can also enjoy many benefits from massaging their babies. As you massage your baby, the physical skin-to-skin contact helps to release hormones that promote relaxation. A more relaxed Dad and a more relaxed baby leads to a closer bond and more positive attitude about your role as a parent. And this close contact helps you learn to read your baby's cues and respond more effectively to her needs, resulting in a happier baby and a more confident parent. In short, massaging your baby helps promote bonding and provides a special time that fosters mutual love, compassion, and respect between you and your baby.
