Baby massage classes are a wonderful way of bonding with your in supportive group sessions guided by me, doula & antenatal educator & massage therapist.

I'm someone who has a deeply held appreciation for the benefits of nurturing touch and massage. Pictured above; I am practicing an Indian massage technique on my doll's arm. During several weeks I will demonstrate strokes, songs & rhymes with my doll and give the opportunity for parents to practice specific series of strokes with their baby. The beneficial routine combines Indian, Swedish, yoga stretching and reflexology. This is a baby-led class; meaning sometimes babies sleep, eat or cry and meanwhile I gently pace my teaching to ensure a supportive, relaxing environment for everyone...including the mom & baby who joined us after a very broken nights sleep!

The very special art of massaging baby works on an emotional as well as physical level, developing a closeness between parent and baby that has lifelong benefits. There is research suggesting benefits to infant sleep, weight gain, relief of colic symptoms and maternal postpartum depression or isolation.

Please if you've read this far, like, share or save the post for the new mother in your life. Every week I meet people saying there was nothing like that when they had their baby.. this is likely not true!! They have just been overwhelmed by noise of heavy marketing of baby products promising to soothe, calm and aid their newborn, or overworked medical staff not having the links in community to refer their new moms. Help get the information out that inclusive classes are happening locally as many people would like to access them if they just knew who to contact.

DM for info on my classes in New Ross, Co Wexford on Thursday mornings 10.30am:)

Did you know using a pool in labour and/or for birth is locally available in Wexford General hospital, under the Domino scheme in Waterford University Hospital and for homebirth.

We have evidence from studies involving thousands of women and babies that using water for labour and birth is safe and leads to good outcomes.

Using water also brings advantages for some women, including less need for other kinds of pain relief and increased maternal satisfaction.

But, as with many things in obstetrics, practice doesn’t always follow evidence.

Some organisations, such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, do not recommend waterbirth.

They sometimes cite anecdotal stories and hypothetical risks, while ignoring large studies which evidence that waterbirth is safe for women and babies.

This means that researchers need to keep doing more studies in order to demonstrate that woman-centred options are safe and effective.

Numerous studies evidence waterbirth safety.

I list many of them at https://www.sarawickham.com/water
