| This 3-week class is designed especially for parents of young infants, including those who were born prematurely and/or who have medical issues or special needs. Each week parents will learn how to massage different parts of their baby and how to adapt those strokes to meet their infant’s individual needs. This class has a slower pace to support the babies’ immature nervous systems. Parents will also have an opportunity to meet other parents with similar parenting challenges and exchange ideas. Parents are encouraged to ask questions regarding feeding and motor skill development from our developmental expert. There are many benefits of massage for both parents and babies. Babies will:
- Have reduced colic, gas & congestion
- Be calmer & sleep better
- Show improved motor skill development
- Develop strong attachments with their parents
Parents will:
- Improve their ability to read their baby’s cues
- Communicate more effectively with their baby
- Develop confidence in their parenting skills
- Reduce their stress
- Improve their own sense of well-being
