At present, there are eight babies on board and they’re enjoying every minute.

Some benefits of Infant Massage

  • Helps relieve common ailments such as colic and gas in newborns.
  • Eases other discomforts experienced throughout infancy, such as teething and sleeping difficulties.
  • Relaxes and soothes your baby and is a pleasurable experience for both parent and child.
  • Loving touch lessens tension, fussiness and irritability.
  • Massage helps with development of motor skills and coordination.
  •  It has also been shown to help new mothers in recovery from post-natal depression.
