“Food for thought”.
Have you noticed the baby’s bubble and the mum’s reaction 😂 ? ❤️

Thinking about food. Gotta love the baby’s thought bubble.

Our next Baby Massage class starts on Friday 10 September!
Come along and learn about the advantages, and the fun, of massaging your baby. Make some new friends in the small group classes.
Infant Massage provides a loving connection between parent and baby starting early in life, supporting the strengthening of this attachment as baby grows.

✨ Did you know this? By simply looking and smiling at each other, mothers and babies can synchronize their heartbeats to within milliseconds.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Researchers at Bar-Ilan University in Israel observed visible affection from mothers caused discernible physiological effects on their three month old babies.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Writing in Infant Behavior and Development, researchers explain, “Mothers and their 3-month old infants were observed during face-to-face interactions while cardiac output was collected from mother and child. Time-series analysis showed that mother and infant coordinate heart rhythms within lags of less than 1 second”.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While touch is the ultimate way for synchronization to occur, that’s not always possible. It’s reassuring to know that just looking at our babies with warmth and tenderness we can calm their emotions and their heartbeats. Mother nature is amazing...and so are you! ✨

The many benefits of Infant Massage ♥♥♥

Why not join our next class?

By asking for permission to massage your baby, you establish respect between you and the child, instilling lifelong benefits including self-worth and self-esteem.
When children receive attentive responses to their needs, they grow to become healthier and more secure in adulthood.

Thank you Maltesers UK for encouraging mums to share their experiences of motherhood.
It is so important to normalise the conversation around maternal mental health.

Infant massage can do wonders for that bonding experience!
Hopefully, our face-to-face classes should resume by end of April ♥♥♥
