Baby massage is a wonderful way of spending quality time with your baby, bringing many immediate and long term benefits for both you and your baby, and is also a great way to meet other parents.

Who is the course suitable for?

Baby massage is a relaxing and fun class for babies of all age, from birth to crawling, but you and your baby will get the most out of the course if baby is about 6 weeks of age or older. Mums and dads are welcome to attend each week.

The course is suitable for all babies, particularly those who suffer from tummy problems; are "fussy" babies; those who have difficulty settling and going to sleep; premature babies; and babies who suffer from colic.
