✨Over the clothes massage & skin to skin ✨
Sometimes babies need time to build up to a massage skin to skin or do not like getting undressed - that’s ok ❤️
We build up to skin to skin , respecting cues and giving time .
You can see from photos how we started with an over the clothes back massage , moving onto skin to skin on baby’s face , then one area being exposed at a time to then baby relaxing into massage ❤️
Every baby is different and that’s ok 🫶🏻

Raising awareness…

Did you know popcorn can be dangerous for small children?

Due to it’s size and odd shape it can be difficult for little ones to chew and safely swallow. That makes it a big choking risk. But it also poses a risk of aspiration (where something is breathed into the lungs by accident) which in some cases can lead to pneumonia.

That’s why we recommend you avoid popcorn until your child is at least 5.

✨Top Tip Tuesday ✨
Does your baby use a dummy?

Dummies are ok to soothe your baby when they are upset or using them for sleep times.
When babies are settled or not sleeping it’s a good idea to remove their dummy.

This is one reason why-
As babies move their mouths and babble they are learning to make the movements needed for early communication .
The more practise they get , the better their early communication skills will be;)

When singing , playing , reading and so forth it’s great for babies to see your mouth movements so turn your baby round to face you ❤️

✨Massage is always ‘offered’ to babies✨

We always ask permission and follow cues 🫶🏻
Here are some cues that your baby /babies might show you if they are saying ‘YES’ to massage ;
✨Face is bright-eyed and receptive
✨Focused attention, taking in the surroundings
✨Calm and relaxed movements
✨Regular breathing
✨May look into the distance , to maintain ’quiet alert’ state .
✨Might understand ‘cue’ for massage and reach up for your hands ( like photo )

By following baby’s cues they will relax and build a LOVE for massage time❤️

We build respect from birth , long may it continue throughout the rest of their life 🫶🏻

Happy International Women’s Day!

Anna from ‘Babies Connect’ endeavours to up lift, empower and support parents attending classes ! She will often do random ‘acts of kindness’ as this not only brings her joy but joy to others too.
Yesterday Anna received a random ‘act of kindness’ from a friend that she made over 14 years ago in a baby massage class when she attended with her daughter 🫶🏻
Anna cherishes all the women in her life and is truly grateful for all the mummies that choose ‘Babies Connect’ to be part of their parenting journey! 🥰

Are you grateful for all the women in your life?

Dear tired parent…

A Message to Tired Parents

Parenting can feel tiring, overwhelming, and deeply meaningful—all at the same time.
There are moments of joy, moments of doubt, and many moments that no one else sees.

Your efforts matter, even the quiet ones. The pauses, the gentle touch, the times you slow down and respond with care—these are the moments your baby feels most.

Infant massage can offer small pockets of connection, but so can simply being present. You don’t need to do more or try harder.

Be gentle with yourself.

You are doing important work, one caring moment at a time.

💛 Save this post as a reminder on your tired days and share it with another parent who may be on a similar journey.

🤯How do 5 week blocks go soooo fast ?! 🤯

They say time flies when you’re having FUN and I totally agree! Do you? (Comment ‘yes’ or like the post, if you agree)
Many of these families are on their 2nd or 3rd block of classes and they are continuing onto their 3rd and 4th block ( 5 weeks in each block) 🫶🏻
It’s sooooo lovely to watch how much they progress with their learning and development over the weeks !
These classes are NOT just for babies , they are there for YOU too . We have fun , have discussions around useful topics and most importantly share tips !
There’s no better recommendation than from another parent .
