At the time of birth, touch is the most developed one of all senses (compared to hearing, sight, smell and taste). Besides your baby's basic needs for feeding and hygiene, touch is essential for your baby to thrive.
Touch through infant massage is a great and gentle way to bond and communicate with your baby from day 1. And it's a great way for dads to start connecting with their little one as well. New parents have stated that they feel more attuned to their baby's signals and feel more confident in handling their baby because of infant massage.
This 90 min class will teach you the basic principles of infant massage. Baby dolls will be provided in class to practice the strokes. You will learn how to give your baby a short full-body massage, what oil to use and what not, techniques to soothe your baby and techniques to help relieve colic/gas.
A bottle of baby massage oil and a handout will be provided.
