With Sofiana Kanta for 3 Saturdays 11-12 am:

15th and 22nd of February and 1st of March

Touch is one of the most significant and nurturing early experiences your baby will have.

Research has shown that these early experiences can affect many aspects of our lives. Nurturing touch has long-term benefits and can impact how we think, feel, and relate to others, and most importantly, how we value and care for ourselves.

Infant massage greatly enhances the early bonding relationship between parents and caregivers and their babies. By using gentle, tactile stimulation along with loving verbal communication, a wonderful bonding experience is shared.

Benefits for babies include:

Develops their first language, which is mainly touch

Enhances their feeling of being loved, respected and secure

Helps to strengthen and regulate their digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems

Relieves symptoms of colic, gas and constipation

Calmed nervous system leads to more restful sleep

Teaches babies how to be aware of their body's tension and how to release it, an invaluable gift as they grow into adulthood.

Benefits that parents identify:

Develops confidence when handling their baby

Enhances loving communication, helping parents to understand and respond to their baby's non-verbal language

Provides 'permission' to relax together with their baby

Increases awareness of baby's growth and development
