Baby Massage

We at Cucciku believe baby massage offers both parents and infants a special time of communication that fosters love, compassion, and respect. We recommend parents to massage their babies 2-3 times weekly until the age of 1 at least. There are several mental, physical and emotional aspects contributing to a baby’s development during a massage such as:-

•It improves general well-being such as normalizing muscle tone , improving blood circulation & enhancing immune system function.
