💜 Benefits for the Entire Family 💜

The benefits of Infant Massage are not just for babies. There are also many benefits for parents and families. Infant Massage can help parents to have a better understanding of their baby by learning to read and respect their cues and it promotes bonding and secure attachment.

Studies show that this positive activity can improve confidence and self esteem as a parent, a chance to discover your baby's uniqueness and improve parenting skills. Baby massage can reduce your own stress hormones and increase relaxation hormones enabling you to feel more relaxed and calm and even improve your sleep quality. Massage can stimulate lactation and decrease the incidence of postnatal depression.

Not to be underplayed, the social benefits of joining a group are many, meeting other parents, peer support, discussion, reassurance and making new friends go a long way when you're a new parent.

Infant massage can benefit the entire family where parents involve siblings and the extended family to massage the baby, creating positive connections between them. In IAIM classes, we teach parents due to the deep emotional bonds formed through nurturing touch, but parents can then decide who they would like to share the programme with. Massage is a lovely gift for siblings, helping to reduce sibling rivalry and giving them a positive outlet for touch and connection. It can result in increased respect, a more relaxed environment and a reduction of conflict.

Truly a class for all of you!

The ritual of permission
⁣
By always beginning massage with the ritual of asking permission, and learning to understand your baby's cues, we can respond respectfully depending on their answer. This way your baby learns empathy, healthy respectful touch and that they are valued. Babies are imitators and this mutual understanding of worth goes a long way. ⁣
⁣
The more we ask the question, the more it is understood and your baby can answer yes or no to massage time. There is safety in respecting these cues. ⁣

All parents and babies are welcome to our classes, providing social opportunities and promoting new friendships and peer support. It is a trans-cultural, non-threatening, non-invasive, flexible and simple programme where you can go at your own pace 💜

It’s a lens shift to consider challenging behaviors as valuable information instead of something to shape or get rid of. Behaviors are so important and such valuable clues as to what children need from the adults around them❣️

04/07/2021

Touch is vital for mental, emotional and physical health. It can reduce stress, boost the immune system, and calm and regulate our bodies. Nurturing touch can reduce both pain and feelings of social exclusion.

Humans are wired to be touched. From birth until the day we die, our need for physical contact remains.
