💜 Week 4 - Face and Back

💙 We started with our weekly check in and shared a new thing that the babies had done this week. There have been some challenges for the mums to face this week but this is a safe space to share those highs and lows.

💜 We continued with learning the new massage strokes, this week it was the face and the back and then we repeated the strokes for the legs, tummy, chest and arms.

💙 After a short break, giving us the opportunity for a chat, cup of tea/coffee ☕ and cake 🍰 we recapped the new massage strokes and looked at the benefits of massage, the benefits for babies come under the categories, stimulation, interaction, relief and relaxation, there are also benefits for us as parents, our family, society and the IAIM programme.

💜 This was the penultimate week of the 5 week course, we have covered so much and still have more to cover in our final week.

💙 If you would like further information on how to join the next course starting Tuesday 14th April, please get in touch.

💜 Week 2 - Tummy and Wind/Colic Routine

💙 We started with our weekly check in, sharing those highs and lows of the week and chatted about how the babies have responded to massage at home.

💜 We learnt the massage strokes for the tummy and then recapped the strokes for the legs from the previous week.

💙 After a break with a cuppa ☕cake 🍰🍪 and chat, we talked through some engagement and disengagement cues, these are signs that our babies are in the quiet alert stage or not ready for massage, we use their body language, facial expressions and sounds, we read and respect those cues during Infant Massage.

💜 I demonstrated the wind/colic routine, this is good for mildly windy to extremely colicky babies and for those that suffer with constipation.

💙 We finished with a positive affirmation for the mums and babies.
