“ It was really nice to come to a class and take an hour out of my busy week just to massage my baby”

The 4 Week Course
The course will consist of four weekly sessions of around 40-60 minutes each, building up and covering (baby permitting!):
Week 1 Chest, Stomach and Leg
Week 2 Foot, Arm and Hand Massage
Week 3 Hand, Back and Face Massage
Week 4 Recap of full sequence and ‘Graduation’

Each week, there will be a chance for parents to discuss any issues they may be facing, and to support each other with ideas and feedback. Example topics may be ‘Colic’, ‘Crying’, ‘Cues’, ‘Sleep’ or ‘Parental Stress’.

“ I can’t believe my baby slept for 7 hours after the session”

Dad's Classes Morning Workshops
Exclusively for Dad’s Studies now show that baby massage bonds fathers and newborn babies. Recent surveys show that fathers who massage their babies establish warm, positive relationships that continue as the child grows. Whilst we are all aware of the benefits of a mother's touch through massage new research now states that a father's touchis just as important and equally essential to a baby's well-being and health.
"Fathers who learn how to soothe their babies notice that their own stress levels come down. Together they experience the calming power of touch and build a lifelong attachment."

And of course, a father's involvement through baby massage can assist in giving a much needed break to Mum! One Stop sessions held monthly on Saturday mornings. Dads will learn the principles of baby massage, a shortened version of the full body routine (one stroke for each part of the body).
