About This Recording

Workshop Title: Feeding, Lactation, and Related Correlations: Improving Social and Emotional Connections through Infant Massage

Feeding and touch are two of the earliest ways parents connect with their babies. But when breastfeeding challenges arise—whether due to a low milk supply, latch problems, a NICU stay, or mother-baby separation—those connections can feel disrupted. This presentation will explore the powerful role of infant massage in supporting the emotional and physiological aspects of lactation. We’ll discuss how intentional, loving touch stimulates oxytocin, encourages milk flow, and helps regulate both baby and mother. More importantly, we’ll highlight how massage offers a beautiful way to nurture closeness, rebuild confidence, and strengthen attachment—even when feeding is difficult or not possible. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of how to support families in fostering meaningful connection through touch during the feeding journey, no matter what it looks like.
