Being the parent of a newborn can be a stressful time. The giving of massage to your baby stimulates the production of "feel good" hormones, reducing cortisol production and increasing dopamine and oxytocin levels 💜

It's Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week!
At the International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM), we stand in support of all mothers navigating the emotional journey of parenthood.

Maternal mental health matters, and this week is a vital reminder that support, connection, and nurturing touch can make a powerful difference.

Did you know that infant massage offers incredible benefits not just for babies, but also for maternal well-being?

Through infant massage, parents can experience:

💜 Enhanced bonding and connection with their baby

💜 Reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression

💜 Increased confidence in understanding their baby’s cues

💜 A calming, mindful moment during the often-overwhelming early days of parenthood

The simple act of loving, respectful touch helps regulate stress, promotes relaxation, and strengthens the emotional link between parent and child. At IAIM, our mission is to nurture healthy parent-infant relationships through touch and communication.

This Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week, we encourage you to reach out, support one another, and explore tools, like infant massage, that foster both emotional and physical well-being. There is lots of support to be found, for example at

You're not alone. Your mental health matters.
Let’s keep talking, connecting, and caring, one gentle touch at a time.

1. It offers relief from pain and discomfort caused by teething, colic and congestion
2. It helps you to connect with you baby, enhancing your attachment and understanding of each other
3. Massage can improve your own mental health, reduce your anxiety, boost your mood and increase your confidence
