Infant massage has not been really accepted until just recently. Local Moms had their own opinions on the topic. Some do it right before bedtime for relaxation and to ease fussiness. Some say their infants look forward to their massage after bath time. It was also said that skin on skin bonding can be a wonderful thing.
