Why: Massage can be very beneficial for your babies development and health, as well as help with developing a good connection with your baby.



During an infant massage training session a therapist will show you the routine and techniques using a doll and then allow you to try them on your infant. The therapist will check your technique and correct your form if needed to ensure that you are doing it correctly. Massage is beneficial to your infant because it encourages interaction between you and your baby, it helps your baby to relax and sleep, positively affects infants hormones that control stress, and reduces crying. Things to avoid when massaging your baby are to make sure that you are not doing it too soon after feedings, bath, or other stimulating activities as it will over stimulate your infant and cause them to get upset. Also, if your infant seems stiff and ridged to you a massage is not the best idea, you want your baby to be content and calm. We will give you further information about infant massage during the training course and there will also be hand-outs and pamphlets for you to take home

  1. Aubrie, Informative post. I like the name of the training session. THe description of infant massage is concise, but provides necessary information. Using purple to bring attention to the class information/logistics draws the readers attention to it. The graphics are so adorable. Overall well-written (maybe use a few different verbs - for example, share vs. give, providing appropriate massage technique vs. "doing it;" monitor vs. "check" ). You might consider referencing another source and link to it to enhance credibility of infant massage, as it may be new to many.

    PS - I love your blog design.
