Frequently Asked Questions

  • Babies of all ages can benefit from infant massage.

    Many parents begin when Baby can lie comfortably on their back with arms relaxed and open, often around 2–3 months of age. You can start sooner, but sessions should be very gentle and brief, as newborns tire quickly.

  • Generally, we recommend organic, cold-pressed, unscented fruit and vegetable oils. Organic oils introduce the least amount of chemicals into Baby’s body.

  • Yes. The Best Beginnings Infant Massage and Movement Program is a one-time purchase of $29.99. Once enrolled, you have full access and can return to the lessons anytime.

  • Of course!

    Once you are comfortable with the massage strokes, let your partner watch the whole massage so that they can have an overview of the massage. The next infant massage session, place your laptop beside Baby so that your partner can easily see the strokes of our course.

    You can also demonstrate the strokes on a doll or a teddy bear beside your partner to support them.

    Grandparents especially love to learn infant massage. Teach them to massage your baby the same way and watch the fun that is had by all!
