"I was expecting my daughter to relax after the massage…this has proven to be right! I have found massage helps her to calm down. An enjoyable experience which has helped me bond further with my daughter"
An instructor trained by the International Association of Infant Massage (I.A.I.M.) teaches the course over a number of 4 weeks to give both parent and baby time to learn and get used to the massage techniques. The strokes are shown on a demonstration doll.
Each week, a new part of the body is taught, followed by a repeat demonstration of previous classes. This gives continuous reinforcement of what has already been learnt.
Please note that the classes are baby lead – it is okay for babies to cry or eat.
As well as massage we will also sing nursery rhymes. Babies love the sound of their Mummy or Daddy’s voice. Singing creates a wonderful atmosphere and teaches parents new songs to sing at home with their babies.
