At RAD Dads, we believe that baby massage is more than just relaxation—it’s a powerful way for dads to bond with their babies while supporting their development in the critical first 1000 days. Touch is a baby’s first language, and through massage, dads can communicate love, security, and care in a meaningful way.

Why Infant Massage Matters

Baby massage plays a crucial role in early bonding, sensory stimulation, and brain development. Research shows that gentle, responsive touch promotes healthy emotional, cognitive, and physical growth. Our RAD Dads Infant Baby Massage Program helps dads learn the benefits and techniques of baby massage in a supportive, hands-on environment.

Benefits of Baby Massage

For Babies:

• Strengthens the father-baby bond by increasing oxytocin (the “love hormone”)

• Supports brain development through sensory stimulation and neural connection building

• Encourages better sleep patterns and relaxation

• Aids digestion and relieves colic, gas, and tummy discomfort

• Enhances emotional security, reducing stress and crying

• Develops body awareness and supports motor skills

For Dads:

• Creates a deeper connection and understanding of baby’s cues

• Increases confidence in handling and soothing baby

• Reduces stress and promotes relaxation for both dad and baby

• Provides a meaningful way to be actively involved in early caregiving

• Enhances communication and emotional attunement
