Infant massage is a tried-and-true way to strengthen the baby/parent bond. Studies have also shown that baby massage can help relieve post-partum and anxiety related symptoms since massage releases oxytocin in both baby and parent, allowing them to feel calmer and more competent in their parenting skills.
