JELLYPOSE

Baby Massage is an ancient tradition practised in many cultures around the world. It is a lovely way to bond with benefits for both the baby and the caregiver. Baby massage can help with minor ailments such as colic, trapped wind and constipation. It can also help to alleviate symptoms of post natal depression. Baby massage promotes positive touch and interaction and releases happy hormones for both. At baby massage classes you will learn massage strokes for each area of the body over the course of 4 weeks, focusing on one area per week and finishing with a full body massage in the final week.

Natural, cold pressed, organic oil, as recommended by the Association of Infant Massage, is provided for you to use following a patch test and as long as your baby is at least 4 - 6 weeks old, to allow for the development of skin layers.

Aromatherapy oils must NOT be used.

As well as massage, we will also sing nursery rhymes during the session which also releases happy hormones. Singing with your child has many benefits such as increasing bonding, developing language and communication, brain development, spatial awareness, maths and rhythm.

There will also be an opportunity for sensory play, and of course for everyone to chat and socialise.

Please note that baby massage is baby led so feel free to stop and tend to baby as necessary. If baby cries, don't worry, it is not a problem. Of course you may feed baby whenever you need and rejoin when suits. If baby needs to sleep, you can simply watch or practise on a doll if you choose. It is very easy going.

Jellypose is a calm and relaxed environment.

Baby massage is suitable from birth until crawling.
