Benefits Of Head Massage For Your Baby

A head massage for babies can be calming for them and help them connect with you deeper as they start associating you with the feeling of comfort.

Here are four benefits of a calming head massage for your baby’s wellness.

1. Relaxes and Improves Sleep

The gentle touch along with an enriching head massage for babies using a hair massage oil helps to strengthen the mother-baby. A good and comfortable hair massage for your baby along with a moisturising body massage can ease any tension in the child’s body while refreshing him/her. It also helps your baby sleep well and prevents restlessness during bedtime.

2. Prevents Hair Damage

Your baby’s delicate scalp and hair are prone to a lot of damage as a result of the harsh effects of our environment. Hence, massaging your baby’s head with a good hair massage oil can prevent damage.

BabyChakra’s Strengthening hair oil is made with organic coconut oil, almond oil, sesame oil, and avocado oil, which is highly beneficial for brittle hair and protects your baby’s hair from environmental damage and treats symptoms of cradle cap.

3. Helps Improve Blood Circulation

Improper blood circulation in your baby can lead to fatigue and discomfort. Hence, indulging your child in a nourishing massage from time to time using a nutrient-rich hair massage oil that ensures that there is an optimum flow of blood throughout.

Better blood circulation leads to better oxygen for your baby which has numerous benefits. A head massage also helps to improve concentration levels and helps boost the baby’s memory by increasing the blood flow to the nervous system.

4. Helps in Hair Growth

One of the benefits of head massage for babies is that it improves blood circulation to your baby’s roots. Hence this leads to better absorption of nutrients by the roots which results in better hair growth. BabyChakra’s strengthening hair oil moisturises the hair strands making them stronger and improving hair growth. It contains baobab oil which is a powerhouse of omega-3 fatty acids. 

While indulging in a head massage for a baby, one must take all the precautions for the baby’s comfort while being super gentle with their head as their skull bones might still be weak. Be careful with the level of pressure you apply on the top of your child’s head as the skull here is softer.

Use tiny circular movements to press your baby’s head and apply only light pressure using your fingertips for your baby’s relaxation. Put the hair massage oil when your baby is lying on their back if he/she is still not old enough. This leads to any excess oil falling towards the back instead of falling onto their face. 

Head massage for babies can be an enjoyable time to bond with your little one. It is a great way to nourish them and improve their overall health.
