☀️ W e e k 5 ☀️
We had a gorgeous afternoon together for our final session.
The mums & babies had all met for lunch beforehand at the tea rooms down the road and I was able to join them too for a bit.
We had a full house so it was great to have a good catch up with everyone. We also shared some our best & worst bits of parenting advice.
Some of the parents also shared some of the hugely insensitive comments they had received when being at their most vulnerable. The support between the families in the group was just incredible & I am so pleased that they felt safe enough to speak so openly ❤️
The babies enjoyed a full body massage & as always, the session was baby led with no pressure for the parents to join in if their babies needed a nap, feed, cuddle or nappy change.
The little ones absolutely loved lying in a circle in their tummies together or sitting while they had their backs massaged.
The babies have changed so much during the 5 weeks; little thighs & cheeks have definitely become squishier & some of them are now rolling or preferring to sit or stand for their massages.
The massage strokes the parents have learnt during the course are really adaptable, and they have done brilliantly adjusting their strokes to allow their babies to be in their chosen position.
The parents are so tuned into recognising if their little ones were in the mood for a massage or whether they had another need that needed to be met.
All the parents now know too what their babies favourite body parts to be massaged are.
The parents made 2 gorgeous keepsakes with their babies.
We also had a love themed ‘ Love you to the moon & back ‘ photo mat - which was super cute 🌛🚀💫
I have loved seeing new friendships being made & this group had already had their first meet up earlier that week.
Everyone is invited back to my graduates group ☕️ Cuppa Club ☕️ which begins on Friday 12th June.
At Cuppa Club this group will join some of the families from my previous courses.
❤️ Thank you so much for being a fantastic group - it’s been a real joy spending time with you and your babies & sharing the wonderful gift of infant massage.
