We currently partner with The Gentle Touch , baby massage is a great way to meet other new mums and bond with your baby. Ask Emma for more information on her current classes.
Baby massage has been practised in many cultures for thousands of years, and research shows many benefits. Through massage, you can gain increased awareness of how your baby communicates and ideas on ways to support your baby in their first few months. You and your baby will discover what is best for you both. It is important to be mindful that massage is something you do with, rather than to your baby.
The benefits of regular massage may:
* Help you and your baby understand each other better
* Soothe babies and reduce crying
* Aid digestion and help relieve colic, wind and constipation
* Help babies to sleep more deeply and for longer
* Relieve nasal congestion and teething discomfort
* Help develop good muscle tone, co-ordination and suppleness
* Enhance body awareness
* Boost the immune system
* Improve skin texture
* Help calm and relax both parent and baby
* Boost parents’ confidence in handling their baby
