Attachment is one of the most fundamental foundations for a child’s healthy growth. Through infant massage, parents have the opportunity to strengthen this deep connection, built on eye contact, touch, and mutual listening. Massage becomes a special moment in which the child feels safe, loved, and protected, while the parent learns to read their little one’s cues and needs.
Across cultures, touch represents a universal language: it requires no translation and speaks directly to the heart. The IAIM program, present in over 100 countries, emphasizes this intercultural experience, highlighting how infant massage serves as a bridge connecting generations, communities, and families.
Fostering attachment means giving children a secure base from which to explore the world. With massage, this base is nurtured daily, through the warmth of hands that care for and accompany the child.

💪 Build strength for the big day (aka labour)
😴Sleep like you are not waking up 3 times to p*e
🧠Calm the chaos in your head
🥰Bond with your baby and body
🤭Share pregnancy experiences in a community of women.

And you get to nap at the end of every session 💤

First day of the 5 week IAIM baby massage course today at Marley Hill. I was joined by 9 babies, 8 Mums, a Dad and a Gran. Lovely to see the interaction between parents and babies. Lots of chat, support and shared tips between each other. A great morning. Thank you to all that attended.

You can begin massaging your baby from birth! In IAIM classes, we welcome babies of all ages, and we support parents in adapting strokes and rhythms to suit their baby’s needs.

For newborns, massage is introduced gradually, respecting their sensory threshold and natural adjustment to life outside the womb. Even gentle touch and eye contact are part of early communication. Over time, massage becomes a beautiful routine that supports development, bonding, and relaxation.

Starting early helps parents feel more confident in responding to their baby's cues and emotions. However, if your baby is already a few months old—or even crawling—it’s never too late! IAIM instructors are trained to guide families at every stage.

What matters most is not when you start, but how present and connected you are.

✨ Massage is not a race. It’s a relationship.
