Build your confidence, meet other parents and learn how to massage your baby at this six week course.  You just need to bring yourself and your baby and will learn massage techniques to help settle your baby, prepare for bedtime, ease the symptoms of colic and much more.

Apart from learning the basic techniques for massaging your baby, we'll also cover top tips for healthy eating and stress management to help you establish good habits early and give you and your baby the best start to family life.

The baby massage course is suitable for parents or carers and babies aged from 6 weeks to 6 months old.  The course is free at our clinic if you're registered with SureStart Hackney Downs and others are welcome to join as well.  We can also arrange private courses at a venue to suit you. If your baby is a little bit older, then our Baby Yoga course may be more suitable, aimed at babies from 4 months to crawling age.

Both baby and parent / carer receive huge benefits from attending baby massage classes. The two-hour sessions allow the carers time to chat with othersmothers etc, about their babies.  The benefits of baby massage itself are manifold.

• babies become more relaxed, have a healthier body with better circulation, flexibility and healthier skin.
• helps promote the bonding process
• carers confidence boosted
• carers better equipped to respond to their babies needs
• encourages one to one quiet time and is equally soothing for the babies and their parents / carers

Overall, the course is a great opportunity for anyone attending.

Please check our timetable for regular classes that you are welcome to attend, and our news page for new 6 week courses in your area.
