As we have already mentioned a strong bond is created between the parents and the baby by using massages. Several researchers have stated that this bond is extremely important for the baby and especially for the future development. Results show that early bond helps the development and vice versa. This bond depends on elements such as smell, vocalization, facial expressions, eye contact, and skin contact as the most important. These are critical elements for the bond according the IAIM, a massage program for infants. Talking and singing in a known environment for baby will also help the creation and firming of the bond. Parents know that touch and holding the baby relaxes them but it also releases the cuddle hormone called oxytocin. This hormone doesn\'t involve only the baby since it normalizes the blood pressure and clams down the parent. Massages are even important for the nervous system. Every nerve in our body has a coating and this coating continues to be formed even after the birth. This coating helps the brain with sending impulses throughout the body. This process of coating can be faster by using massages. Massages have positive effect on premature babies because they can repel the diseases and help the parents to discover an illness very early. Massages can help your with asthma, skin disorders, diabetes and even help the baby to become a very calm and amicable adult.
