Baby Massage Classes:
Touch is important for the emotional and physical development and wellbeing of babies. Massage not only relaxes and soothes but also promotes physical closeness, strengthening the emotional bond between mother and baby.
Muscular co-ordination is encouraged and promotes good circulation and digestion. Research shows that massage also releases chemicals in the brain known as endorphins, which aid relaxation. Baby massage can be beneficial for babies who cry a lot, find it difficult to sleep, have colic or pre-mature babies.
