Default Yes, massage is great for adoptive families!

Hi Stephanie,

Congratulations to your friends! Adoption can at times be a long process, but it is so worth it!

Yes, massage can be useful in aiding with the bonding process. Through the use of infant massage parents learn to become more attuned to their baby's unique and individual forms of communication. It can help parents to understand their baby's cues and respond more appropriately. And of course having skin to skin contact through the use of loving touch can help the family's bond to strengthen and grow!
