Baby Massage Course

Fit and Healthy Mums, the local Fitness club, is excited to announce a special event for all new mums out there – the original baby massage course! This event is designed to help you and your little one connect on a whole new level, while also providing you with a valuable skill that you can continue to use for years to come.

During this 5-week course, you'll learn the art of baby massage, a gentle and rhythmic movement that uses baby massage oil to soothe, relax, or stimulate your precious bundle of joy. Not only will you discover different strokes that can provide relief from common discomforts like colic and teething, but you'll also learn which ones are most effective at bedtime and even how to help clear your baby's cold.

But this course offers so much more than just strokes! It's a wonderful opportunity to meet other new mums who are on the same journey as you. Many of these groups go on to form lasting connections and even set up private mum and baby yoga groups. So not only will you gain valuable knowledge and skills, but you'll also create a support system of like-minded individuals who understand the joys and challenges of motherhood.

Fit and Healthy Mums warmly welcomes partners and grandparents to join in on the fun. This is a family-friendly event where everyone can bond with the baby and learn together. Private appointments are also available for those who prefer a more intimate setting, whether it's for follow-ups after the 5-week course or for expectant mothers looking for some relaxation before their little one arrives.

We understand that some mums may worry about their baby being too fussy or not actively participating during the class. But let us assure you, it doesn't matter if your baby sleeps or feeds throughout the entire session! Our experienced instructor, Keri, teaches with a demo doll that you're welcome to use, along with our spare dolls. Some mums enjoy participating in the discussion and observing all the new massage strokes, which they can then try at home with their partner or a grandparent if they wish.

Now, you might be wondering, what are the benefits of baby massage? Well, there are numerous advantages! Not only does it encourage the bonding and attachment process between parent and child, but it also helps to reduce stress levels for both baby and parent. You may have heard of oxytocin, also known as 'the love hormone,' and baby massage promotes the release of this hormone, strengthening the connection between you and your little one.

Additionally, baby massage stimulates your baby's systems, aids digestion, and helps ease colic. It also encourages muscular coordination and joint flexibility, making those mini-movements smoother and more coordinated. And let's not forget about the relaxation aspect! Baby massage has been shown to reduce tension, restlessness, and irritability, ultimately promoting a deeper and longer sleep for your baby. Lastly, it teaches babies to experience relaxation and self-calm, which are vital skills as they grow.

So, if you're ready to embark on this wonderful journey of baby massage, join us at Fit and Healthy Mums for our comprehensive 5-week course. Your baby will thank you for the extra TLC, and you'll develop a new skill that will only enhance the bond between you and your little one.
