What Little Chick Baby Massage says

💛Bond with your baby, help them grow up happy and healthy and meet other local mums💙

Baby massage enhances the emotional connection between you and your baby. Touch is one of the most developed senses at birth; using positive, loving touch is a special way to communicate with your child and encourages your little one to grow up healthy and happy.

Massaging your baby has many benefits for both of you:

💗It nurtures baby and makes them feel loved.
💗It's an opportunity for parent and baby to bond and connect through touch, eye contact and vocal assurance.
💗Massage calms and relaxes baby, which can aid sleep.
💗It can ease common ailments, such as colic, constipation and snuffles.
💗Massage supports the development of the digestive, circulatory, respiratory and nervous systems.
💗It can boost the immune system by increasing the production of white blood cells.
💗It promotes healthy brain development as baby learns body awareness and when songs, rhyme and talk are included in massage, language development too!
💗Massage gives the parent pleasure and confidence, and can reduce postnatal depression and anxiety.

These classes are suitable for babies from 6 weeks (after the 6/8 week check with the GP) and up to pre-crawling.

About

I set up Little Chick Sheffield in 2023 following the birth of my daughter. We attended baby massage classes together from when she was 6 weeks old until she became much too wriggly at about 8 months! Those classes were a saviour to me - a calm, relaxing anchor in the week with my new baby in what can otherwise be an overwhelming newborn blur - and I have very special memories of that time. I felt inspired to train as a massage instructor and share the incredible benefits of baby massage with parents and babies in my home city of Sheffield.

I am a primary school teacher and have worked with children and families in Sheffield for over 10 years. I am passionate about supporting parents to lay the best foundations for their child from birth, having experienced the hugely positive impact of baby massage on bonding and development with my own little one.

I am a Qualified Infant Massage Instructor, am trained in safeguarding and First Aid, and have an enhanced DBS. I hold Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance.

I look forward to seeing you and your baby at a Little Chick Baby Massage class and supporting you both to connect, communicate and thrive.
