This week we have baby massage consultant, Helen Thompson on the show to tell us all the amazing benefits of baby massage and tummy time.

“There are many, many benefits (of infant massage) but one of the benefits that I really like is because it helps with babies if they’ve got constipation, if they’ve got colic, or they’ve got reflux. It also helps both parents and baby to relax, because when you’re massaging (the baby) you’re relaxing. ….and you’re releasing a lot of those… natural love hormones and you’re sharing them between each other. …It also helps with digestion. It helps develop the baby’s immune system. It helps encourage your baby to sleep better… “

—- Helen Thompson

本週節目我們邀請到嬰兒按摩顧問，Helen Thompson在節目中告訴我們嬰兒按摩和俯臥時間的好處。  “嬰兒按摩有很多很多好處，但我真正喜歡的好處之一是因為它對便秘、疝痛或胃食道逆流的嬰兒有幫助。它還可以幫助父母和嬰兒放鬆，因為當你在幫寶寶按摩時，你也正在放鬆。 ……你同時也在釋放……天然的催產素(愛的荷爾蒙)，你們彼此分享這段時光。 ......它也有助於幫助消化，也可以有效的發展嬰兒的免疫系統。甚至可以讓寶寶睡得更安穩……” ——Helen Thompson
