A woman who has given birth must understand that the children's masses are very important for their "adjustment" of physical and emotional contact with the child. Massage for a child at such an early age (1.5 months and up to a year) plays an important role in its physical development, since all the muscles and joints of the baby are not developed, thanks to the massage, the child's blood circulation is increased and activated.
