If your Baby has Special Needs

If you are the parent of an infant with special needs, your child may communicate her or his needs differently than other babies. Giving a focused massage allows you to learn more about your baby's unique signals. Massage may also help your baby cope with the physical stress or disabilities she or he may have to live with.

For drug-exposed infants, massage relieves tension and pain, helping these babies shift their attention from physical discomfort to pleasurable experience. Their weight gain also increases with daily massage.
