The Power of Positive Touch
Touch is baby's first language, their first experiences are through touch. The first sense to develop within the womb & continues to develop in the first year & beyond.
Through touch babies learn about the world around them, bond & communicate. Their skin is highly sensitive, particularly cheeks, face, tummy & soles of the feet. The inside of a baby's mouth is also sensitive to touch.
Baby massage is an opportunity to explore the power of touch, giving you one to one time with your little one learning their cues & building a 'forever' bond. Add to this being able to soothe & calm some of those early babyhood ailments, you will be empowered, confident & relaxed.
Throughout our baby-led classes we use gentle rhythmic, midwifery approved strokes to support baby's whole body. Perfect for babies from 6 weeks to crawling. We have fun rhymes & songs to help remember the strokes & to engage with baby. All followed by an opportunity to get to know other new parents.
