The right touch can make all the difference in the first months of life.
Baby Massage is a technique of Indian origin with decades of scientific study and recognition. Through gentle and precise movements, it stimulates the physical and emotional development of the baby — while strengthening the bond between parents and child.

More than a massage, it is a moment of connection. A ritual of affection that the baby learns to recognise, to anticipate and to need.

It can be performed from the 1st month of life. In Ílhavo, each session is by appointment and adapted to the age and needs of your baby. Book the first session now — and discover the power of touch.

What this massage provides
- Strengthening of the emotional bond: a unique moment between parents and baby

How it works

1. From what age can my baby receive this massage?
A: The massage can be performed from the 1st month of life. The earlier it starts, the sooner the baby gets used to touch and begins to benefit from its effects — both physically and emotionally.

2. Is the massage safe for such young babies?
A: Yes. The technique is adapted to the age and development of each baby, with gentle and controlled movements. The session is carried out by a specialist therapist and parents are always present. The safety and comfort of the baby are the top priority.

3. What should I do if the baby cries during the session?
A: It is completely normal for some babies to cry at first — it is their way of communicating. The therapist knows how to read the baby's signals and will adapt or stop the session if necessary. Over time, most babies come to relax and enjoy the massage moment.

4. What are the main benefits of Baby Massage?
A: The benefits are varied — strengthening of the emotional bond between parents and baby, relief from colic and gas, improved digestion, stimulation of the respiratory and circulatory systems, relaxation and more peaceful sleep, and neuromotor development. It is one of the most recommended practices by paediatricians in the first months of life.

5. Can parents learn the techniques to do at home?
A: Yes. During the session, parents are encouraged to participate and learn the basic techniques to continue at home. Making massage part of the baby's daily routine further enhances its benefits.

6. How often should the massage be done?
A: Ideally, massage should be part of the baby's daily routine — done by the parents themselves at home after learning the techniques. For professional sessions, a weekly or fortnightly frequency is recommended in the first months.

7. Is any preparation needed before the session?
A: It is recommended that the baby is not hungry and has not eaten less than 30 minutes before the session. Bring a change of clothes and the baby's nappy. The space provides everything else needed for the session.

8. How do I make a booking?
A: Sessions are by appointment. You can book directly through the WOU registration form or contact us via WhatsApp.
