Benefits of Baby Massage
Spend time with a Baby's First Massage® Certified Newborn Massage Instructor learning how to calm, nurture, and massage your newborn.
Our goal is to help your experience as a new parent be more peaceful, enjoyable, and fulfilling.
While massage is never intended to replace medical care, there are some issues that can be comforted with baby massage to help smooth out those first days of your newborn adjusting to their life outside the womb.
Benefits of daily Baby Massage may include:
- increased bonding for both parent and baby
- improved ability to read your baby cues
- better sleep patterns by increasing serotonin
- relieves gas and improves digestion
- improves birth weight for preemies or under weight babies
- stimulates the nervous system to help improve flexibility
- coordination and muscle control
- boosts immune system and increases confidence in parenting

Q & A
I've never heard of baby massage, is this like a spa appointment for my baby?
It is not like a "spa" appointment where your baby is coming in for us to massage them. We do lend guidance to help you learn the strokes but our goal is to teach you how massage your baby. We teach on a doll side by side next to you and your baby and may also demonstrate strokes on your baby.
How soon can my baby receive a massage?
If you had a healthy delivery and baby is doing well, you can begin baby massage as soon as the first day they are born!
My baby was premature, can they receive a massage?
As long as your baby has caught up to 32 weeks gestational age, is at-least 3-4 pounds, and is medically stable (which means they are are in an open crib and taking feedings) then yes they can! In fact, The Baby's First Massage Program® is active in many NICU's and is part of the care plan in many special care nurseries. If your baby is in the NICU feel free to ask your nurse if you can consider learning this routine to perform in the NICU with your baby.
Can I learn this before my baby is born?
Yes you can! Our program teaches many things about newborn behavior as well as baby massage and is often taught in birth preparation classes.
I'm a professional who would love to learn how I can become certified and host baby massage classes. Can you share the study course?
Yes we'd love to! Mama & Me Photography Spa owner, Diane Yvon, is the owner of The Official Baby's First Massage Program® . You can learn more about programs for professionals by visiting the website:
