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.

she had good videos of the technique, had the techniques written on powerpoint, and also gave time to demonstrate and then try it. great for all learning styles. i personally liked the video first so i could see what she was demo or reviewing the written material.
