Baby Massage

This course is suitable from birth - crawling. You will be with the same group of parents for the duration of the course, there will be time to chat and meet other new babies! 

A wonderful, relaxing and calming class for new parents and babies.

Don't worry, we understand and are sympathetic to the needs of a newborn baby. If you need to feed/change your baby during the session you can easily do this and listen to our teacher - you won't miss out. We also offer a relaxation at the end of the session and a chance to talk to and chat with other parents. 

You will learn:

Massage sequences for the arms, legs, tummy, face, back. A variety of different massage strokes. We also teach a routine for gas and wind to help those tiny digestive systems.

So why baby massage?

Touch is a crucial part of your baby’s brain development. It aids neurological development by building ‘pathways’ in the brain as it teaches your baby to become aware of her body. Massage helps develop your relationship with your baby.  It can boost her immune system and promotes flexibility. 

Studies have shown that massage may be effective in reducing crying and relieving any discomfort caused by teething or colic. New mums often say that baby massage helped them to become more confident in handling their baby and recognising her needs.

It can help baby’s sleep patterns by helping to soothe and relax her - and as she gets older it works particularly well as part of a bedtime routine once you have established one. 

You will need a quiet place where you can be with your baby a towel and any cold pressed sunflower oil.

This class is limited to 12 participant.

This is a 4 week course. By registering on any of our Baby Massage courses, you are booked on to all four sessions, which will happen at the same time each week, using the same Zoom details.
