Baby Massage

Baby massage is a really special way to spend some lovely one to one time with your little one in those early months. It gives you the opportunity to get out of the house, to meet other parents but also to learn to massage your baby using techniques to stimulate, sooth and calm.

Baby massage can help your baby to sleep better, reduce crying and relieve problems such as wind, colic, constipation and reflux. It can also help reduce post-natal depression.
