The answer to this question depends on where you are in the world and also what you want for your child. The international Association for Infant Massage encourages parents to massage their own babies as opposed to bringing your baby to a therapist to do it for you. By going to classes in Infant Massage, you can learn the techniques and benefit yourself form the interaction and learning that occurs when you massage your own child.
