One in ten infants is born preterm in the United States each year, often causing pediatric medical traumatic stress (PMTS) which negatively impacts bonding. Decreasedattachment is directly linked to poor motor development, sleep, and cognition. Infant massage reduces maternal stress, alleviates infant pain, and promotes growth and neurosensory regulation. Early intervention therapists are uniquely positioned to use infant massage to support parental resilience and bonding to increase participation in therapeutic interventions. Find out how infant massage can empower parents to feel competent in caring for their baby and increase bonding.

the demonstration of the strokes, combined with a video of the massage in practice and a repeat follow up of the stroke pattern was very nice for solidifying the concepts and techniques.
