Learning Infant Massage

A couple of weeks ago, we were invited to learn how to do infant massage. We learned from our teacher Nancy White that infant massage makes the baby grow faster and develop better, and that bones will be much stronger. This is the group picture of that evening, from left to right: Kamran, Menchie, Parvaneh, Mouzhgan, Vida, Nancy, Fereshteh, John and Maarten. Our model who is not in the picture was Melody, the 3-month old daughter of Kamran and Parvaneh. Mouzhgan and Vida are also pregnant like Menchie, so it was really nice for us to learn some strokes and styles that we can use on our baby. Nancy and John are from New Zealand, but originally Nancy is from Fiji, where infant massage is common and well-known.
