Infant Massage
Wayne HealthCare’s Special Beginnings Birthing Center now offers complimentary infant and mom medical massage to support the health and well-being of new mothers and their babies. Massage is a proven technique to promote relaxation, ease discomfort, and encourage bonding between mom and baby.
Our trained staff will coordinate a free medical massage during your hospital stay, providing gentle touch therapy designed to enhance recovery and development.
Benefits of Infant Massage
Infant massage is more than just a soothing experience—it has been shown to provide essential health benefits for newborns, including:
- Improved sleep patterns and reduced fussiness
- Lower stress hormone levels for a calmer baby
- Better digestion and reduced constipation
- Healthy weight gain and improved circulation
- Fewer symptoms of colic and irritability
- Sinus and ear drainage to help reduce congestion and earaches
- Enhanced flexibility and muscle development
- Stimulation of the autonomic nervous system, which supports heart rate, breathing, and digestion
Benefits for Mom
New moms can also benefit from massage during and after childbirth. Studies have shown that medical massage can:
- Reduce the need for an epidural during labor by up to 60%
- Lower cortisol levels after delivery, helping to reduce postpartum depression
