Toddlers too relish a good massage, if you learn how to make it playful and respectful of their age related needs.
It is not recommended to rely on local massuers, who are normally a bit harsh in their techniques and not very respectful of baby's will and prefereces, which can be a bit traumatic for an infant or toddler.
In traditional cultures, it is normally the mother or grandmother the one who massage a baby.
But anyone in the family can do it, if gentle and respectful.
We especially encourage fathers to learn infant massage and massage their baby regularly.
Baby massage can be a great bonding and fun time for fathers.
