Baby Massage
Baby Massage session in the comfort of your home:
Baby massage can be done with babies of 0 to 9 months, providing they do not have any medical conditions that would prevent this
(if you are unsure please check with the baby's GP or consultant first)
The massage is usually carried out seated on the floor with baby in front of you on a pillow and towel. I will provide you with a small bottle of massage oil to use on your baby. The massage can be done with baby in a laying or seated position.
I will use a doll to demonstrate the massage strokes and techniques, for you to copy with your baby and ask any questions as we go along.
