Baby Massage

Learn techniques to massage your baby, foster bonding, relaxation, and promote overall well-being. Suitable for babies from birth up to around one year old. You will receive hands on instruction on how to perform various massage techniques tailored specifically for infants.

Baby massage offers numerous benefits for both infants and parents:

1. Bonding: Massage strengthens the emotional bond between parent and baby through skin-to-skin contact and nurturing touch.
2. Relaxation: Massage helps babies relax by reducing stress hormones like cortisol and promoting the release of feel-good hormones like oxytocin.
3. Better sleep: Regular massage can improve your baby's sleep patterns by promoting relaxation and helping them settle into a bedtime routine.
4. Relief from discomfort: Gentle massage techniques can alleviate common discomforts like gas, colic, and teething pain.
5. Improved digestion: Massaging your baby's tummy in a clockwise motion can aid digestion and relieve constipation.
6. Sensory stimulation: Massage provides sensory stimulation, helping babies become more aware of their bodies and enhancing their overall development.

7. Communication: Through massage, parents can learn to recognize their baby's cues and respond appropriately, enhancing communication and fostering a deeper connection.
