Baby massage is not just a nurturing calming class to do with your baby it can actually have amazing benefits for you and your baby! Being a mum in those first six months is incredibly intense, can be overwhelming and also lonely (and yes it is totally ok to admit this!). Signing up to a baby course is a great way to have something in the diary each week to help get you out and about, meeting other likeminded mammas and have a place to download on motherhood! And when the class has amazing benefits its a no brainer right!! Here is just a few of the benefits you get when you learn baby massage...
improves relaxation and enourages sleep for your baby
helps to relieve the effects of colic, teething, constipation and wind (yes, yes how good is this!)
stimulates all a baby’s major systems: co-ordination, respiration, digestion, learning ability and language development
strengthen your bond with baby and has been proven to reduce post natal depression
reduces crying
relaxation time for you too!
​
When you have learnt the massage strokes you can then practice them at home! When baby is having one of those windy, uncomfotable days you have the tools to help support relieve them. After bath is the perfect time to create a bedtime massage to increse calm, relaxation and sleep!!
My Baby Massage classes are all about creating a calming space to come, just as you are, to learn baby massage techniques to support all of the above benefits AND also have Mamma Time.. It's a a safe space to download all that is going on with you and motherhood and to meet likeminded mammas who are also going through similar journeys with their babies!
