Baby Massage
ABOUT THE COURSE
Massage is an age-old tradition that has been passed down since the age of time. We do it daily without realising though winding, tickling, cuddling, feeding, skin on skin time etc. It is an amazing skill for childcare professionals to learn as it is a wonderful, nurturing experience to share, whilst having lots of health benefits for the baby.
Baby yoga perfectly complements baby massage by expanding the benefits of touch with movement and relaxation.
You will understand the benefits of Baby massage and how it is helpful in relieving wind, gas, colic, teething, sleeplessness, crying and fractiousness. It helps babies develop motor skills, muscular control and stimulates their minds through a gentle, rhythmic stroking of your baby’s body with your hands.
The soothing strokes of your hands stimulate the production of oxytocin, the feel-good hormone.


WHO THE COURSE IS SUITABLE FOR
The course is designed to meet the needs of childcare professionals who work with babies and would like to increase their skills.
It may also be interesting for parents and grandparents who would like to understand the benefits of baby massage for their baby.
