Lymphatic system, (the body's waste disposal system) by riding the body of waste products, it boosts the immune system.

Relaxation -
​
Massage is renowned for relaxing benefits. Baby Massage is not only relaxing for baby, but for the parent too. The skin to skin contact in baby massage enables the production of oxytocin, this is the love hormone (that same warm feeling you get when you hug someone). This hormone can reduce heart rate, blood pressure, anxiety, and adrenaline.
