Baby Massage

Promoting nurturing touch and communication (Part of the IAIM Mission statement)

Baby massage classes offer evidence based techniques for massaging you baby from head to toe in a supportive group with other parents. This course is suitable for babies from birth to 1 year old. The course runs for 5 weeks.

I trained at a International Association of Infant Massage instructor when I was woking as a Health Visitor in the West end of Newcastle quite a few years ago. I have completed my refresher course recently to allow me to offer baby massage classes.

Why Baby massage?

There are many benefits learning how to massage your baby these are some of them -

Provides a dedicated time for you and your baby to get to know each other better.
Promotes attachment through nurturing skin to skin touch.
Encourages relaxation and reduces stress hormones
May help to reduce colic and improve digestion.

What do I need?

A couple of towels one for your baby to lie on. Babies prefer the smell of their own family.
A changing or waterproof mat.
Massage oil - we suggest you use high quality (preferably organic) unscented cold pressed vegetable oil. I will have some coconut oil with me that you can use. if you prefer to use your own oils that of course is fine.
Baby changing and feeding equipment
Anything else you and your baby need.
