Infant Massage 2007-12-04 07:01:00 Infant massage is common in many lands, and it is becoming popular in some Western countries. According to the Spanish Association for Infant Massage, a massage is a subtle, tender, and pleasant technique that enables a parent to communicate physically and emotionally with the baby.

It is a wonderful experience!A newborn not only needs to be fed but also needs to receive parental affection.
