Fathers today take an increasingly active interest in the care and nurturing of their infants. Fathers want to be emotionally bonded with their babies and are fathers, too, have “parenting hormones” that are activated by close contact with their infants. In spite of an eagerness to participate in the baby’s care right from the beginning, a new father may encounter logistical problems, his time may be limited to evenings and weekends. He may have to face the added stress of coping with basic household maintenance and increased financial pressure.

In many instances, however, fathers are still part of the background, playing supportive but limited roles in the upbringing of their babies. Creating a bond should begin at birth, and research has shown that massage can serve as one of the building blocks for father-child bonds.

Research has found that infant massage for new dads may substantially influence the quality of their relationship. Fathers who massaged their babies were found to be more demonstrative, warmer, accepting with their babies and showed reduction in their stress levels.

Infant massage helps the father understand their baby's cues, connect with their deep nurturing side and feel confident in parenting by actively addressing their infant's concerns.
