Baby Massage Session

Video Transcript

“Baby massage is aimed for mainly new mums with new babies from 6 weeks old.

The earlier you start to massage a baby they do get used to it easier. It is a good bonding process with the baby. It builds up their relationship.

It is known to help treat post natal depression and that is one of the benefits for mum. It also helps mum feel more confident with handling the baby and is also good for the digestive system, wind, colic and constipation.

There is a little tummy routine that we can do if any babies are suffering with that so we have had very good feedback that it really does work.

Quite often when mums have just had babies they find it difficult to come out, everything has changed and they lose confidence a little bit.

Quite often friendships are formed at this group and women have said how much it has helped them with post natal depression and getting out of the house after their baby is born.”
