🙌Touch is essential for a baby’s healthy development on all levels.
❤️Love is nourishment and attuned touch communicates love. Feelings of safety, belonging, being held by the parent or the caregiver is the core of bonding.
🤱By massaging your baby, both your body and baby’s body releases oxytocin, the ‘bonding hormone’ a ‘feel-good hormone’. It helps with regulating our nervous-system, leaving us calmer and more relaxed.
👶🏽The baby massage classes offer the space and the support for you and your baby to have uninterrupted time to connect through nourishing touch. A time for dialogue, as the class promotes recognising and responding to behavioural cues from the baby, always respecting their ‘no’.
🌸Other benefits supported by research are:
Feeling love, respected, safe
Supports a secure attachment
Helps with colic and other digestive issues
Better sleep
Reduce fussiness and crying
Improve neurological function in babies.
weight gaining for premature and full-term babies
Increase lactation production for mothers.
Reduce postpartum depression for mothers
❤️Love that comes through touch, which is our ‘first language’, gets embedded in every cell. It is a nourishment for life, a foundation for all our future relationships.

Why so much emphasis on positive physical contact?

🙌 Studies have shown that skin-to-skin contact activates the parasympathetic nervous system, the rest and digest state, which plays a major role in restorative functions, growth and development.

💕Nurturing touch is an essential human need. Babies need positive physical contact just as much as they need food, warmth and safety.

🔆Babies have a limited capacity to self-regulate. Co-regulation is the foundation for self-regulation development.
🐣Regulation means feeling at ease in your body and nervous system.
🤱Co-regulation is having someone with you that can help you come back to calmness, feeling settled again.
👨‍🍼Babies rely heavily on the caregivers to respond to their needs.

🙌Gentle strokes communicate to your child that the world is a safe place, that he or she is loved and accepted.

🤲🧠Positive touch, which is sensed by nerve endings beneath the skin, stimulates areas of the brain associated with social and emotional development and strengthens those neural connections.

🍃When touch is nurturing, loving, kind, and wanted by the child, touch plays a key role in healthy child development.

Why baby massage?👶

🤲The caring touch of the parent is nourishment for the baby.

🌱The first months in the world will lay down the foundation of who we become later in life.

💕Mommy's or daddy's hands are the safest place for the little one. Attuned touch and eye-to-eye contact, smiling, soothing vocal sounds encourages bonding.

🌼The parent classes provide a safe space where parents can offer undivided attention, and two-way interactions for optimal growth and development.

👶🙌Baby massage is a gentle and loving way to connect with your baby through rhythmic strokes.
