Infant Massage & Digestive Support (for Dyschezia)

Duration: 1 hour | Price: $120 | Location: In-home service (Toronto & surrounding areas)

Gentle, hands-on support for your baby’s comfort and digestion

This one-hour in-home visit is designed to help your baby’s body find ease, comfort, and rhythm again. Many newborns and infants experience dyschezia—straining, crying, or difficulty passing stool despite normal bowel function. Through gentle, targeted massage and nursing-led assessment, we can ease your baby’s discomfort while empowering you with simple techniques to continue at home.

What to expect during your visit

Each session is calm, unhurried, and baby-led. I take time to create a peaceful environment where your little one feels secure and you feel confident. The appointment includes:

• Full nursing assessment of baby: overall tone, comfort, belly exam, feeding pattern, and hydration.

• Weight check and growth tracking: using a portable baby scale.

• Feeds and diaper review: we go over your baby’s ins & outs (feeds, pees, poos) to ensure all is within normal range.

• Gentle infant massage: rhythmic techniques to relieve gas, bloating, and support healthy bowel movements.

• Parent teaching & demonstration: I guide you step-by-step so you can safely and confidently repeat the massage at home.

You’ll also receive follow-up guidance on when to repeat the techniques, signs to watch for, and when medical reassessment may be needed.

Benefits of infant massage

• Relieves gas, bloating, and dyschezia

• Promotes smoother bowel movements

• Improves circulation and lymphatic flow

• Supports better sleep and relaxation

• Enhances bonding and confidence for parents

Education & Empowerment for Parents

This isn’t just a treatment—it’s a learning experience. You’ll leave the session feeling confident in your ability to comfort your baby naturally, using safe touch and gentle pressure techniques. Parents often find the process grounding and reassuring, especially during those early weeks of newborn adjustment.

A Registered Nurse approach

As a Registered Nurse specializing in postpartum and newborn care, I blend clinical knowledge with holistic methods. My goal is to ensure your baby’s comfort while providing professional reassurance for you.
If I notice anything outside the normal range (feeding issues, abnormal weight trends, concerning stool patterns), I’ll guide you on next steps or when to follow up with your healthcare provider.

When to book this session

This service is ideal for babies who:

• Seem uncomfortable, strain, or cry before passing stool

Note: This service is not a replacement for medical care. If your baby has persistent vomiting, fever, blood in stool, or poor feeding, please contact your healthcare provider first.
