Becoming increasingly popular as of late, infant massage is taught to new mothers as a process to bond with their newborns, and of encouraging infant health. Sponsored by Vimala McClure, it integrates fostering touch, massage, and reflexology in a loving, fun, Mother/Baby interaction. Studies at the University of Miami showed infants that received 15 minutes of massage a day gained weight 47% faster and showed other physical and neurological benefits.
