BABY MASSAGE

New life is heartwarming, beautiful and unique. 

The first days, weeks and months bring so much change, so many firsts and so many visitors! 

​

Baby massage is a wonderful way to bond with your baby and bring some calm to your routine. Through your reassuring and loving touch you can encourage movement and development and soothe a range of newborn niggles. Massage has a range of benefits for both mum and baby and it is a lovely way to involve your partner or family in the bonding process, particularly if you have other children. Alternatively, some parents feel baby massage is a way to dedicate time to their new arrival away from the demands of older children and a hectic family routine.
