Why learn baby massage?
For Your Baby and For You
Interaction
For Your Baby: Develops communication and trust between baby and their carer which helps to improve bonding and attachment.
​
For You: Becoming a parent can be a steep learning curve. Our classes are a safe and intimate space where you can socialise with other carers with babies of a similar age.
Stimulation
For Your Baby: Each week, you will learn a massage sequence for a new area of your baby's body, building up to a whole body massage in week 5. Baby massage stimulates a baby's internal systems, such as digestive and nervous, and if practiced regularly, will lead to a better overall well-being for baby.
​
For You: Build confidence as you learn baby massage techniques, knowing that you are giving your baby the best possible start in life with their development.
Relief
For Your Baby: Baby massage can help to alleviate symptoms of common baby ailments, such as gas and colic, constipation, growing pains, tension, teething discomfort and nasal congestion.
​
For You: Develop the knowledge and skills to soothe your baby through massage in times of need.
Relaxation
For Your Baby and For You: Massage releases the 'feel good' or 'love' hormone, oxytocin. This hormone is reported to support relaxation, the feeling of calm and reduce stress and anxiety for both baby and the carer performing the massage.
​
Parents also report that baby massage may also contribute to improved sleep patterns.
